Norwich vs West Brom

Carrow Road will welcome West Bromwich Albion at Carrow Road for a Championship bout while Norwich City stands on the verge of elimination from the playoff hunt.

Between the international break and now the Canaries have fallen back in the promotion race as West Bromwich Albion fights among top contenders to qualify for the playoffs during their remaining eight games before the season ends.

During recent Championship runs the Canaries triumphed twice in league title wins yet this season find themselves relegated to supporting roles since they now face a mediocre mid-season position.

Norwich City entered the last international break of 2024-25 showing signs of collapse as Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday defeated them during successive matches during their recent eight-game losing streak which cost them victory once.

Contesting both matches against Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City, the Spaniard Borja Sainz scored a goal in each encounter to maintain his lead at the top of the Championship Golden Boot standings with 17 goals throughout 33 second-tier appearances.

Hoff Thorup's team started March without a win in four Championship games as they settled in the 13th position in the table eight points behind West Brom who protect their playoff spot.

The Baggies maintain a six-game undefeated run while closing in on the end of the Championship season after drawing in matches against top-tier teams in Leeds United and Burnley.

Although East Anglians of the green and yellow variety haven't always enjoyed winning afternoons cheering on their team at Carrow Road this season—Norwich is ranked 14th in terms of home form—the Canaries have been a thrilling sight to watch, scoring 44 goals in 19 games played there.

Following five games in which they alternated between losing and winning during Tony Mowbray's second spell as Black Country manager, West Bromwich Albion has discovered a little area of stability that might help them secure a post-season playoff berth.
