Norwich take on the visitors Oxford Utd in the round 36 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, March 7th at Carrow Road (Norwich).
Norwich City is showing solid form. Looking at Norwich City's recent results, it’s clear that the team is in decent shape. Over the last seven matches, they have suffered only one defeat, with three draws and three victories. Given the squad’s overall condition, this can be considered an above-average performance. It’s certainly better than their current league position—11th place—which is disappointing for the second-highest-scoring team in the division. This is not the outcome the club’s management and fans expected. With 11 rounds remaining and only four points separating them from the coveted sixth spot, which grants a chance to fight for Premier League promotion, the battle is far from over. Their recent form gives supporters hope that they can ultimately achieve this goal. Notably, Norwich has also tightened up defensively, conceding just three goals in their last four games. However, they will be without several key players, including Kenny McLean, Forsyth, Jurásek, Liam Gibbs, and Amankwah.

Oxford United has managed just nine wins in 35 matches this season. Interestingly, their very first victory came on the opening day against today’s opponent. That match, played at Kassam Stadium in Oxford, ended in a convincing 2-0 win for the hosts. However, a lot has changed since then. The newly promoted side initially enjoyed a promising start but has since lost confidence, as reflected in their recent results. Gary Rowett's men are now winless in seven consecutive games, collecting just three points from draws and suffering four defeats—three of which have come in their last three matches. Such poor form could push the club’s board to consider a managerial change. An away trip to Carrow Road does not bode well for the visitors, especially given their struggles on the road this season. To make matters worse, they will be missing key defender Lee Greg, further weakening an already vulnerable backline. Additionally, Oxford has the second-worst away record in the league, having earned just nine points from 17 matches while losing ten times.
Norwich City will be looking to showcase their superior quality, particularly at home, where they have been strong. They have lost only three of their 17 home matches this season. Their attacking output at Carrow Road has been outstanding, with 41 goals scored—an average of 2.4 per game—second only to league leaders Leeds, who have netted 45. The team will also be highly motivated to avenge their first-round defeat and improve their position in the standings. Oxford is enduring a terrible run, and the chances of a positive result seem slim. Their losing streak will likely extend to four matches, which is especially concerning given their dreadful away record. Considering all these factors, a bet on the home team’s victory looks like a solid option.
Prediction for the match: Norwich to win with 0.0 handicap.
