Norwich City form and stats

4-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Norwich City in their Championship matches away.

The manager Smith was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Carrow Road. Norwich City suffered a 1-2 loss to Middlesbrough (placed 15th). That loss was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Norwich were so close to getting something from the game against Middlesbrough, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime. Midfield player Sara was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Sara hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Rotherham United with the score of 2-1.

Norwich City have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. Norwich have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
