Norwich

Norwich City have been struggling to find consistent form in recent weeks, with just one win in their last six Championship matches. The Canaries have failed to secure back-to-back victories during this period, alternating between losses, draws, and a solitary win. Their defensive record has been a cause for concern, conceding eight goals in six games, while only managing to keep two clean sheets.

The 3-2 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday stands out as a particularly entertaining fixture. Despite their mixed form, Norwich remain in mid-table, sitting 11th in the Championship with 52 points from 40 games, suggesting they are still within touching distance of the playoff spots if they can string together a run of positive results.

Recent home/away form

Burnley

Burnley have been in formidable form at home, boasting an impressive five-match winning streak at Turf Moor. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with five clean sheets in their last six home games, conceding just one goal during this period. The Clarets have also been prolific in attack, scoring 13 goals in their last six home matches, including two high-scoring 4-0 victories against Luton Town and Sheffield Wednesday. Burnley's home form has been a crucial factor in their Championship success, as they currently sit atop the league table with 84 points from 40 games. Interestingly, despite their goal-scoring ability, two-thirds of their recent home matches have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting their ability to control games and secure narrow victories when necessary.

Norwich

Norwich City have been struggling for form away from home, with their recent run of results showing a concerning trend. The Canaries have managed just one victory in their last six away matches, suffering three defeats and securing two draws in the process. Their solitary win came against Watford, where they edged out a 1-0 victory. Norwich's goalscoring form on the road has been particularly poor, netting just five times in these six games, averaging less than a goal per match. Defensively, they've also been vulnerable, conceding eight goals during this period. The team's inability to keep clean sheets has been evident, with only one shutout in their last six away fixtures. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent away matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that while Norwich are finding it difficult to win, they are at least getting on the scoresheet in most games. The lack of high-scoring encounters is notable, with 67% of these matches featuring fewer than 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs on their travels.
