Norwich City will take on Leeds United at Carrow Road in a Championship clash on Tuesday, with both teams in strong form. Norwich currently sit in ninth place with 11 points from seven matches, while Leeds are fifth with 14 points. Norwich have won three of their last four games, with Borja Sainz scoring six goals in seven matches for them. They will be looking for revenge against Leeds, who knocked them out of the playoffs last season.
Leeds, on the other hand, have four wins, two draws and one defeat in the league this season, putting them in fifth place. They have the second-best defensive record in the Championship, with just four goals conceded. Leeds have kept clean sheets in five of their last six matches and will be looking to continue their strong defensive form. The team finished third in the Championship last season, beating Norwich in the playoffs but ultimately failing to secure promotion.
Norwich will be without five players for the match, including Onel Hernandez and Liam Gibbs. Sainz, who scored a hat-trick against Derby, will lead the line for the Canaries. Leeds will be missing key players such as Daniel James and Ethan Ampadu due to injuries. Ampadu’s spot in the lineup could be taken by Ao Tanaka. Both teams are expected to field strong lineups for the game, with Norwich likely to name an unchanged team.
We predict a close match between Norwich City and Leeds United, with a 2-1 victory for Leeds. While Norwich have quality in attack, Leeds’ strong defensive record and recent form make them the favorites to secure all three points. It promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with promotion ambitions in the Championship.
