Recent form

Norwich

Norwich City's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Canaries struggling to string together positive results. Over their last six matches, they have managed just one win, alongside two draws and three losses, leaving them in 11th place in the Championship table. The team have found goals hard to come by, averaging just 1.17 goals per game, while their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.5 goals per match. A notable high-scoring encounter was their 3-2 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, which saw five goals scored. Norwich have failed to keep clean sheets in five of their last six games, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. Their goal difference of -2 over this period reflects their struggles, and they'll be keen to improve their form to climb the table.

Sunderland

Sunderland are currently enjoying a strong run of form, having won four of their last six matches, including their two most recent fixtures. The Black Cats have shown resilience in defence, keeping two clean sheets in this period, while their attacking prowess has been evident with an average of 1.17 goals scored per game. Notably, Sunderland have embarked on a three-match unbeaten streak, which has helped them secure a promising fourth position in the Championship table. Their ability to grind out results is highlighted by the fact that 50% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tactical approach to securing points. The 3-0 defeat to Coventry City stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise impressive run, with Sunderland bouncing back strongly to win their subsequent two matches without conceding a goal.
