Match preview
Two clubs in the thick of the promotion playoff battle are set to lock horns in a Championship clash at Carrow Road on Saturday, December 17th.
The matchup in question will see a Blackburn Rovers outfit desperate for a bounce-back result make the trip to a Norwich side trailing them by just a point in England’s 2nd tier.
The latter’s desperation for a return to winning ways comes after they were condemned to an alarming defeat in their post-World Cup return to action last weekend.
After slipping to two defeats from three heading into the break, one of which came in the form of a three-goal drubbing at the hands of Burnley, Blackburn suffered an equally heavy loss at home to Preston North End.
Jon Dahl Tomasson’s troops, who are remarkably yet to draw a single league fixture this term, have therefore slipped a full five points off the automatic promotion spots.
Safe to say, then, that a fourth defeat in five on Saturday would mark a heavy blow for Rovers’ hopes of a top-flight return.
Avoiding such a result, though, will prove easier said than done.
This comes with Blackburn’s upcoming hosts having enjoyed an altogether more fruitful return to competitive action this past weekend.
After clinching just a solitary win from three heading into the international break, Norwich bounced back courtesy of a hard-fought three-point haul at the expense of Swansea City.
A trip to Wales ultimately gave rise to a 1-0 Canaries victory, owing to Teemu Pukki’s opener inside the first minute of play.
Norwich, as alluded to above, have in turn climbed to within a solitary point of Blackburn in the Championship standings.
And we are backing Dean Smith’s men to add ever further to the woes of their upcoming opponents come the full-time whistle at Carrow Road on Saturday evening.
