‘Convincing victory’ – Norwich City vs Middlesbrough prediction...

In their most recent match, Middlesbrough overcame a run of consecutive losses to overcome Sheffield United 1-0 at

home.

Prior to the Blades’ visit, Michael Carrick’s team had lost their last two games. However, they secured a crucial three

points at the Riverside by scoring a late goal through Emmanuel Latte Lath.

After their first 11 league games, Boro shot up to eighth place in the rankings and are currently only two points off of

the play-off spots.

In contrast, Norwich City has scored 15 goals in their last six games and is undefeated.

The Canaries had played both of their previous games away from home, tying Stoke City 1-1 before midweek’s 2-2

draw with Preston North End.

Borja Sainz and Shane Duffy helped Johannes Thorup’s team rally from a 2-0 deficit to even the score and extend

their winning streak. Right now, they are ranked seventh.

Here are some of our writers’ predictions for the match.

“Norwich is currently playing well, and it would be difficult to defeat them at home right now.

Middlesbrough will need to perform at their highest level if they want to win this weekend because the Canaries have

scored four goals in two of their last three meetings at Carrow Road.

“Carrick’s team has seen form swings in the early going, but their most recent triumph is sure to have boosted

confidence in their camp.

“I am supporting the home team to win by a significant margin, but I can see the visitors getting themselves on the

scoresheet.

“Middlesbrough games are very difficult to predict.” Although their results are erratic, it is evident that they have the

ability to play a significant role in this year’s promotion picture.

“Norwich City can make them pay if they’re not playing at their best.

With Thorup leading the team, the Canaries are truly impressing me, and a victory here might serve as a declaration

of intent. They will be difficult to defeat at Carrow Road, and since Boro is playing so inconsistently, I’m leaning

toward a victory at home.

“However, don’t be shocked if Middlesbrough puts on a strong show to win.”
