Norwich vs Leicester City Prediction
Norwich Form
Norwich have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Bristol City by 0-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 2-1 against Rotherham, before claiming three points in a 1-0 win against Stoke. Norwich won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored six and conceded six goals.
A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum Leicester City should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.

In their last six Championship away matches, Leicester City claimed a full handful of five wins. They've drawn once and lost none, scoring 11 whilst conceding three times.
Norwich are perhaps an outside bet at best for title challenge in the league this term, but a top three finish certainty isn't unreachable.
