Our prediction for the match Norwich vs Preston North End
The Canaries have lost their status as a "promotional lift" team – they have stopped breaking into the Premier League. Last season, they finished sixth with 73 points, only to lose in the first round of the playoffs. The Lily-whites collected ten fewer points, ultimately finishing in the bottom half of the top 10 in the final standings.
Currently, under Heckingbottom's management, they are trying to improve after a less-than-ideal autumn stretch. They managed to get through Charlton in the cup, and this week, they triumphed over Wycombe in a penalty shootout. Their number of victories in the Championship has increased. They ended January by defeating Watford and Middlesbrough. However, Blackburn managed to beat them 2-1 in the last round. The current hosts have a fairly balanced record of wins and losses. There was a difficult stretch in January, when they lost to Brighton in the cup and to Sheffield United and Leeds in the Championship. But then, the team thrashed Swansea, narrowly beat Watford, and drew with Derby County.
Under Torup, they score 1.63 goals per match, conceding noticeably fewer at just 1.4. The visitors, on the other hand, have a negative goal difference of 1.1/1.27.
