Norwich City form and stats

Norwich City, who have the most points (32) away in Championship, have an excellent away record in the Championship so far with 10-2-4 from 16 games. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Norwich City hope to make it five in this match. Norwich has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

It's the second away game in a row for Norwich City, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Birmingham City (placed 21st) in the Championship last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Rotherham United.

After this away game Norwich return home for a Championship game against Brentford. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Norwich City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 23 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Norwich have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
