Norwich City form and stats

Norwich City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Norwich City, who have the the best goal difference (+35) in Championship, collect 45 points from their 21 away matches in the Championship. 14 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 4 defeats). The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Swansea City game have they lost an away game, meaning Norwich has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

Home advantage was not enough for Norwich in their previous game, as they lost their Championship-match, hosting Watford, 0-1. A loss against AFC Bournemouth was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Norwich have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 21 league away games 31 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Norwich City as they have only conceded 18 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
