Recent form

Norwich

Norwich City's recent form presents a mixed picture, with some concerning trends. The Canaries are currently languishing in 21st position in the Championship after losing their opening league game. Their last six matches across all competitions show a worrying run of three consecutive losses before their most recent win in the League Cup. This high-scoring 4-3 victory over Stevenage stands out as their only win and highest-scoring game in this period. Norwich's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches. The team's goal difference of -4 and the fact that both teams scored in 67% of these games suggest that while Norwich can find the net, they're struggling to outscore their opponents consistently.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are currently displaying impressive form, riding a six-game unbeaten streak with four wins and two draws. Their recent performances have been particularly noteworthy, with three consecutive victories, including two high-scoring affairs. The standout result was a 6-1 thrashing of Stockport County in the League Cup, followed by a 4-2 win against Derby County in the Championship. These results have contributed to an impressive goal-scoring record, with Rovers netting 16 times in their last six games, averaging 2.67 goals per match. Defensively, they've been solid too, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. Their positive goal difference of 11 and their third-place position in the league after one game suggest a strong start to the season for Blackburn Rovers.

Recent home/away form

Norwich

Norwich City's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with their last six games at Carrow Road showing signs of inconsistency. The Canaries have struggled to secure victories, managing only one win in their last six home matches, which came in a high-scoring League Cup encounter against Stevenage (4-3). This game stands out as particularly noteworthy due to its seven-goal thriller. Prior to that, Norwich endured a challenging period with three consecutive draws in the Championship, followed by two losses in friendly matches. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, while their attacking output has been moderate at 1.33 goals per game. The team has shown a tendency for entertaining matches, with both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an even split between high and low-scoring affairs.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown impressive form away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last six away matches with four wins and two draws. Their most recent outing was particularly noteworthy, as they secured a resounding 6-1 victory against Stockport County in the League Cup, demonstrating their attacking prowess. This high-scoring game stands out among their recent performances. The team has been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring 13 goals in these six games, averaging 2.17 goals per game. Defensively, they've been solid as well, conceding only 0.67 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. Their goal difference of +9 over these six games highlights their dominance on the road. While the majority of their games (67%) have seen both teams score, Blackburn has managed to outscore their opponents in most cases, resulting in their strong away record.
