3751

We have several fixtures to look forward to on the 5th of August in the Championship, including the meeting between Norwich City and Hull City.

The game will be played at Carrow Road and the hosts are one of the favourites to compete for promotion this season while the visitors will be hoping to improve on their 15th place finish from last season.

Norwich City come into the match on the back of a 2-0 friendly win over Olympiakos. The Canaries enjoyed a good preseason and they were undefeated in their 6 matches.

In addition to the victory over Olympiakos, there were wins over King’s Lynn Town and Darmstadt plus draws with Barnet, Kaiserslautern, and AZ.

Norwich City finished last season in disappointing form and they lost 4 of their last 5 Championship fixtures, including each of their last 3 games.

The defeats came at home against Swansea City and Blackpool plus Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion away.

The only point gained by Norwich City in their final 5 Championship matches of last season came at Queens Park Rangers.

Trends show Norwich City have achieved just 1 win from their 11 most recent games in the Championship.

They have not been able to score a goal in their 5 most recent home Championship matches and have conceded goals in 11 of their last 13 Championship games on home soil.

Hull City make the trip to Carrow Road having finished their preseason with a 1-1 draw against Nantes.

Like their opponents, Hull City were undefeated throughout their preseason but they recorded only 2 wins from their 6 fixtures.

The victories were over Galatasaray and Barnsley plus there were draws with Hatayspor, Bradford City, and Scunthorpe United.

Trends show Hull City are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 Championship matches and they enjoyed a decent end to last season.

However, they have won only 2 of their 11 most recent Championship games and have been held to a draw in 6 of their last 9 fixtures in the league.

Away form in the Championship shows Hull City have failed to win any of their last 10 matches.

They have drawn 5 of their last 6 away games in the Championship and have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 8 league matches on the road.

Team news: Norwich City have been busy in the transfer market.

Christian Fassnacht, Borja Sainz, Ashley Barnes, and Shane Duffy are among those who could make their competitive debut for the club.

Hull City have also added several players to their squad, with Xavier Simons and Jason Lokilo the two players most likely to start from the summer arrivals.

If the defensive display of both teams at the end of last season is anything to go by, we expect to see both teams score in this game. Norwich City are fancied to push for promotion this season and it could be the hosts who come out on top, winning by a 1 goal margin.
