Norwich City vs Birmingham City Prediction and Betting Tips | September 30th 2023

Two sides who could do well with a win go head-to-head in the EFL Championship as Norwich City host Birmingham City at Carrow Road on Saturday.

The Canaries head into the weekend on a six-match winning streak against the hosts and will look to continue in the same vein.

Norwich City were dumped out of the EFL Cup on Wednesday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham at Craven Cottage.

This was in keeping with their struggles in the Championship, where they have lost three of their last four matches while conceding 10 goals and scoring four in that time.

However, David Wagner’s men now return home where they have won five of their last six matches across all competitions, with a 2-0 loss against Leicester City on September 20 being the exception.

Elsewhere, they failed to find their feet last Friday as they were held to a goalless draw by Queens Park Rangers on home turf.

The Blues have now failed to win their last five matches across all competitions, claiming two draws and losing three, including a 3-1 defeat against Cardiff City in the EFL Cup second round on August 29.

With 12 points from eight matches, Birmingham City are currently 10th in the EFL Championship table, one point and two places below Saturday’s hosts.
