Norwich City, Recent FormNorwich City enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Rotherham United last time out in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Rotherham United, who had 10 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Dean Smith will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Norwich recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Josh Sargent will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Carrow Road, having notched up 5 goals for Norwich City in their last 6 league matches at home.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Middlesbrough managed a remarkable 3-0 away win against Blackpool. During that encounter they recorded 64% of the possession and had 19 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 1 of their 6 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 5 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 9 of their past 10 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Chuba Akpom will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Middlesbrough's last 6 league games.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
Norwich will be looking to extend their current run of 6 clean sheets against The Boro.
Middlesboro has had a poor run of results against Norwich having not won any of their last 6 meetings.
Norwich manager Dean Smith has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Adam Idah (Knee), Andrew Omobamidele (Ankle), Jonathan Rowe (Shin) and Jacob Sørensen (Sprained ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick ahead of this clash, with Duncan Watmore (Head) missing out, which gives Carrick a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
