BLACKBURN VS NORWICH MATCH ANALYSIS
Blackburn are in the 10th place in the table after 17 rounds in the league, having picked up 25 points after their away defeat to Bristol (1-0). They have been blowing hot and cold at the start of the season (W7-D4-L6), but are one the more entertaining sides to watch. They were unbeaten in six matches before Wednesday (W4-D2) and the Canaries will be in trouble if the Rovers are in the scoring mood again. As for the visitors, Norwich continue to struggle with injuries, but the Canaries are doing alright on the field nevertheless. The East Anglian side is leading the title race after their second 2-1 home win on the trot against Notts Forest in midweek and have now lost just one of their last 13 league games. They top the table with 34 points and are heading into the Blackburn match as favourites.
Blackburn have been in a free-scoring form so far and apart from Tyrhys Dolan, a young prospect from their famed academy, they now have another teenage prodigy in Harvey Elliot, who was signed from Liverpool on a season loan and have already won the hearts of fans, while pundits are heaping praise on him.. After two 2-1 wins at home, Blackburn drew in the capital city with Brentford (2-2) and lost to the Robins, as they await Norwich next.
As for their midweek match against Bristol, they were denied points after a late Bristol winner. Famara Diedhiou scored in the 82nd minute to earn Bristol the three precious points in their Championship promotion bid in a close-fought encounter against play-off chasers Blackburn. Mowbray's men showed plenty that is good about their play, the liveliness of Harvey Elliott and Rothwell, but their struggle to beat promotion rivals continues to dent their progress. Hopefully, they will be ready to step-up against Norwich at home.
As for the Canaries, win over the Reds on Wednesday keeps them top of the table for the time being, by three points. It is really crowded in the top half of the table, and if they had lost against a struggling Forest side, they would have vacated the pole position and possibly fallen down the standings to as low as fifth. Another positive Norwich can take from that game in midweek was that no further players have been added to the club’s extensive injury list.
The Canaries went ahead in first-half injury time when Jacob Sorensen found the net with a low strike, while Knockaert's equaliser was a reward for a much-improved performance by the visitors after the interval. However, the excellent Buendia's effort earned the hosts the second successive 2-1 win in front of the returning fans at Carrow Road and sent Norwich three points clear of second-placed Bournemouth at the top of the table.

Blackburn will try to push for one of the play-off spots this season, and will surely set up to attack in Saturday’s football match. The Rovers are looking to win the fourth consecutive home league game and the league’s top scorer Armstrong, who has scored 14 times for Rovers, will be their main go-to-guy for goals.
Even though Norwich head into Saturday’s football game with a severely-weakened squad, their fifth away win should be considered. Experienced attacker Teemu Pukki is expected to lead the line for the hosts.
BettingKick’s prediction for Norwich vs Blackburn match is: Both teams to score.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
