CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING PREVIEWJames Buttler

Norwich City are unbeaten in six league matches, a run including three wins and three draws, which sees them positioned in seventh in the Championship table ahead of the weekend. They are level on points but ahead of Boro by four on goal difference.


Despite this round of matches taking is just past a quarter of the way through the season, Sunday afternoon’s match already feels like a game that will make a difference in the final knockings for the playoff places at least.


Norwich earned a point from a 2-2 draw at Deepdale against Preston on Tuesday, whereas Middlebrough earned a tough 1-0 win over Sheffield United at The Riverside.


Boro have had the best of the H2Hs

James Buttler looks ahead to Monday afternoon's Championship match between the Canaries and Boro and finds the very best bets.

Boro have dominated this encounter in recent times with last five Championship matches, winning the last four including the last two at Carrow Road, both by a 2-1 scoreline.


Norwich at home have been highly productive with two wins and three draws. In actual fact, the Canaries are unbeaten at Carrow Road across their last 21 games, winning 13. Boro’s away form has been their weakest link with two wins and three defeats.


You could be tempted with the draw at 13/5 between two evenly matched sides on paper, but this match is played at Carrow Road and that gives Norwich the edge. I’d take the Canaries at 24/13.


Borja Sainz is Norwich’s top scorer with eight this season and he’s a decent 17/5 anytime. I think teams often set up differently home and away and when on home turf, it’s Josh Sargent with four goals in the last five, or five in seven, who stands out. Josh Sargent is 4/1 anytime and he also takes the penalties.


James Championship Tips


  • Norwich City to win at 24/13


  • Norwich to win and Josh Sargent to score at 8/1

  • Norwich to win and Borja Sainz to score at 13/2

  • Norwich to win and both Josh Sargent and Borja Sainz to score at 30/1
