⁠Norwich City vs Middlesbrough Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Another exciting fixture to look out for in the EFL Championship

Two closely matched sides Norwich City and Middlesbrough FC are about to face-off for their 12th EFL Championship 2024-25 tie. Both sides have 17 points after their first 11 games, with the only difference between them being goals.

Hosts Norwich City are unbeaten in their past six encounters in the competition and are looking strong to grab full points from this fixture with dreams of rising up the ranks. The start of the season was unsatisfactory, but now they are going bold with good form.

Middlesbrough FC won their last two matches after suffering a sudden jolt in the first week of October with two back-to-back losses. The side seems to suffer in the attacking half, but their good defense makes things easy. A win from this away game will be a huge plus for head coach Michael Carrick, who just completed two years with the club.
