Norwich vs Rotherham Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Rotherham have failed to win any of their last ten away games
• Rotherham average just 0.55 goals scored per game away from home
• Norwich average 1.05 goals conceded per game this season

Norwich still pushing

A victory last time out against fellow promotion-hopefuls Blackburn has seen Norwich City move to within a point of the playoffs – albeit with sixth-placed Blackburn retaining a game in hand. The Canaries will be looking to bounce straight back into the Premier League after being relegated last season.

Norwich have a strong defensive record, averaging just 1.05 goals conceded per game – which is below the league average of 1.21 – and face a visit from a Rotherham side who average just 0.55 goals per game on the road this season. Norwich themselves aren’t exactly free-scoring, with just three goals scored in their last five. As a result, a prediction for Norwich to win and under 2.5 goals stands out here.

Rotherham should be safe

Following a victory against playoff-chasing West Brom on Friday afternoon, Rotherham have seen themselves rise to 18th in the table, with three points, three teams and a game in hand separating them from the bottom three. They are still very much within reach of 22nd-placed Reading, but the cushion they have could prove vital.

With Norwich on the brink of making the playoffs, as well as their strong defensive record, combined with Rotherham’s struggles on the road, a correct score prediction of 2-0 Norwich looks good in this fixture.
