Norwich hope to live up to their early billing as the Championship title favourites this coming Saturday when they welcome Middlesbrough over to the Carrow Road for a round 3 match.

Norwich put three points on the board from the first two rounds of the Championship season. With the advantage of playing at Carrow Road they will be hopeful of three more points against Middlesbrough.

In the previous three matches, Norwich lost 1-2 against Millwall, beat Watford by 1-2 and won 1-2 against Portsmouth. Norwich claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew one and lost three, scored 11 goals and conceded 12.

Middlesbrough Form

Their past three matches saw Middlesbrough beating Swansea 1-0, losing 0-4 against Doncaster, and beating Millwall by 0-3. Middlesbrough won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship.
