Don't expect too many goals! Swansea vs Norwich Prediction
One of the matches in the fifth round of the Championship will take place on Saturday at the Swansea Stadium, where Swansea will face Norwich. Here’s a prediction for this clash from the experts at Dailysports.
Swansea
The "Swans" failed to impress last season, finishing in a modest 14th place, just seven points clear of the relegation zone. Luke Williams’ side began the new Championship campaign with an away loss to Middlesbrough, conceding from the penalty spot in a narrow 1-0 defeat.
They followed this with a 3-1 victory over Gillingham in the EFL Cup and a confident 3-0 home win over Preston in the league. However, that would be their last win so far. Swansea were eliminated from the EFL Cup after a 0-1 loss to Wycombe, played out a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City, and were defeated 0-1 away by West Brom.
Norwich
The "Canaries" finished last season in sixth place, trailing league leaders Leicester by 24 points. In the playoff semi-final for Premier League promotion, Norwich faced Leeds. They drew 0-0 at home, but suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat away.
The new season began poorly for Norwich, with their first Championship win coming only in the fourth round, a 1-0 victory away at Coventry City. Before that, they had lost to Oxford United (0-2) and drawn with Blackburn (2-2) and Sheffield United (1-1). In the EFL Cup, Norwich edged Stevenage 4-3 but were thrashed 0-4 by Crystal Palace.
