Norwich vs Bolton Predictions

• Norwich have won three of their last five Championship matches
• Bolton have lost four of their last five games
• Both teams have found the net in five of Norwich’s seven league outings 

Canaries can get back on song 

A stunning end to last season had many touting Norwich as Championship promotion contenders and after starting the season with two defeats, they are beginning to repay the faith. 

A 4-1 rout of Burnley got the ball rolling and victories over strong Sheffield United and Birmingham sides soon followed. The 91st-minute winner they conceded at Middlesbrough and a 5-0 hammering at Manchester City will have hurt, but it is worth noting both of those defeats came on the road and against very good teams. 

Norwich tend to fare better on their own patch, winning 11 of their last 16 games at Carrow Road, and their next opponents, Bolton, are not at the level of Boro or City. 

Trotters to play their part in a thriller 

Wanderers came up through the playoffs and have struggled for consistency back in the Championship, losing four and winning just two of their seven matches. 

The wins have come against relegation rivals Preston and Cardiff, too, so it is hard to see them beating Philippe Clement’s excellent Norwich.   

That is not to say they lack a threat, however. Bolton scored two in a narrow defeat against red-hot West Ham recently and have the firepower to grab a consolation in Norfolk.
