On Saturday (January 21), Coventry City and Norwich City will compete for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 28 lunchtime kickoff. The hosts are coming off a loss to Burnley by a score of 1-0 last weekend. Eight minutes into extra time, Jordan Beyer’s goal proved to be the difference between the two teams.
In contrast, Norwich was dominant in a 4-0 victory over Preston North End. Teemu Pukki set the ball moving in the thirteenth moment, while Kieran Dowell’s support made it 3-0 by the 28th. The Canaries prevailed comfortably thanks to Pukki’s brace in the 69th.
With the victory, David Wagner’s team moved up 39 points to seventh place in the standings. Only two points separate them from the playoff spots. Coventry, on the other hand, is 15th with 35 points from 26 games.

Coventry vs Norwich City Prediction :
The promotion hopes of Norwich have been hampered by inconsistent play, but David Wagner’s team will try to build on their easy victory over Preston. In contrast, Coventry also wants to be promoted, and a win here would put them within striking distance of the top six.
The hosts have not won in four games and have lost their last three at home. It is highly unlikely that Norwich will end this streak.
Prediction: Coventry City 0-1 Norwich City

The two teams have fought 125 times before. Coventry holds a 55-36 advantage, while 35 games have ended in a tie. In their most recent meeting, which took place in September 2022, Norwich prevailed 3-0 at home. Coventry has not lost at home in seven games and has kept five clean sheets.
In seven meetings with Coventry, Norwich has won five, going unbeaten. Coventry has scored two goals in only nine of its 26 league games this season, ranking second in the division. Norwich wants to win consecutive games for the first time since September 2022.
Their 4-0 victory over Preston was their biggest margin of victory since August 2021.
Coventry vs Norwich City Team news :
After serving his one-match suspension for a red card against Wrexham, Coventry defender Jonathan Panzo is available for selection. As a result, Robins is likely to switch to a back three against Norwich, with Panzo partnering Callum Doyle and Michael Rose in the middle of the Sky Blues’ backline.
Jake Bidwell should start in a wing-back position for Wagner’s Canaries’ visit because Josh Wilson-Esbrand is a doubt due to a knee injury sustained last week.
Long-term absentees Tyler Walker (ligament) and Matty Gooden (ankle) continue their rehabilitations, leaving only Sweden’s Gyokeres as a senior striker for Robins to select.
