Norwich City vs. Queens Park Rangers Match Analysis and Prediction

Norwich City will look to make it back to back wins in the EFL Championship this week when they host Queens Park Rangers at Carrow Road in the 19th round of the competition. Match day schedules for November 2 at 22:45 EAT.

The hosts who are now sitting in fifth position and with the opportunity to move ahead of their third-placed opponents, Norwich City has the opportunity to kick-start their campaign and challenge again for automatic promotion to the top fight.  However coming into this game, Norwich won only one of their last six matches LLLDLW.

Norwich City will want more of the same results after 3-1 Championship victory to beat Stoke City in their last match. In that game, Norwich City had 43% possession, 16 shots with nine of them on target and goals scored by Aaron Ramsey (38′, 71′) and Gabriel Sara (77′). Stoke City got 17 shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Nick Powell (92′).

Meanwhile from the QPR’s perspective, everything was going in the right direction as they travelled to Birmingham City last week, both on and off the pitch with Michael Beale having turned down the chance to join Wolverhampton Wanderers. Coming into this game, QPR won four of their last six matches (WWLWWL).

QPR will be aiming for better results following 2-0 Championship defeat at the hands of Birmingham City in their last outing. Queens Park Rangers managed 65% possession and 15 shots with four of them on target. Birmingham City got seven shots with three of them on target and goals by Auston Trusty (4′) and Emmanuel Longelo (29′).
