Competition: Championship
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 17/20 @ 1xBet
Hoping to skyrocket themselves into the play-off places, Bristol City will welcome Norwich to Ashton Gate on Friday night.
Starting with the hosts, mounting a dramatic last-gasp comeback away at promotion contenders Sheffield United earlier in the week as they snatched a 1-1 stalemate at Bramall Lane, Bristol City are enjoying what has become a real purple patch. Skyrocketing their way up the Championship standings, the Robins open Friday’s return to Ashton Gate sat just two points adrift of finding a route into the play-off places. Getting March underway with an impressive 2-0 victory away at Millwall, Liam Manning’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Signing off February with a real statement of intent as they clinched a 2-1 victory against Middlesbrough, the former Oxford United boss has not seen his squad suffer a single defeat from any of their previous six Championship appearances. It should also be highlighted, the Robins have suffered just a sole defeat from their last 10 consecutive outings – a run that stems back to January 18th.
As for the visitors, suffering what was an infamous collapse at Carrow Road in midweek, Norwich could show some real signs of a hangover here. Eventually falling to a 3-2 loss at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday, Johannes Hoff Thorup could have some mounting pressure on his shoulders in Norfolk. Tumbling down the Championship standings and watching their play-off dreams take a major blow, Friday’s guests have collected just a sole victory from any of their previous seven appearances. With a dramatic 4-2 win against Stoke on February 22nd appearing that it could have just been a minor boost, Norwich have also shown some extended issues on the road. Forced to settle for consecutive 1-1 stalemates against Blackburn and Hull, Thorup’s men have notched just a single Championship victory away from Carrow Road since New Year’s Day. However, it should be noted, Norwich have seen all of their last five outings finish with both teams finding the net.
Bet: Both teams to score at Bristol City vs Norwich City 17/20 for Friday’s Championship showdown @ 1xBet
