Bristol City vs Norwich City Prediction and Betting Tips | March 14th 2025
Bristol City and Norwich City get round 38 of the EFL Championship underway when they lock horns at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Friday. The Robins will be looking to complete the double over the visitors, having secured a 2-0 victory in November’s reverse fixture.
Bristol City continued their push for a playoff spot on Tuesday when they netted a 90th-minute equalizer to salvage a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
With that result, the Robins have now gone six consecutive games without defeat, claiming three wins and three draws since a 1-0 defeat against Swansea City on February 9.
With 54 points from 37 Championship matches, Bristol City are currently seventh in the league standings, two points off sixth-placed Coventry City in the final playoff spot.
On the other hand, Norwich City failed to find their feet in midweek as they suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday at Carrow Road.
The Canaries have now failed to win six of their most recent seven matches — losing twice and claiming four draws — with a 4-2 victory over Stoke City on February 22 being the exception.
This poor run of results has seen Norwich City plunge into 12th place in the league table with 49 points from 37 games but they could move within four points of the playoffs places with a win this weekend.
