  • Recommended bet: Draw

Time is running out for both Bristol City and Norwich to make a late surge into the play-off spots in this season’s Championship, as the pair prepare for Saturday’s meeting at Ashton Gate.

The pair are locked on 58 points, 10 points behind sixth-placed Hull City with just four games of the campaign remaining.

Norwich’s three-game unbeaten run came to an end at the expense of their big rivals Ipswich Town last weekend, as they went down 2-0 at Carrow Road.

Bristol City have found good form under new manager Roy Hodgson, winning back-to-back games over the Easter weekend before settling for a goalless draw away to QPR last Saturday.

Team news

Ruairi McConville and Ben Chrisene both returned to the Norwich matchday squad last weekend, with the latter coming off the bench, and they could be involved in some capacity.

Joe Williams, Luke McNally, Rob Dickie and Robert Atkinson are all likely to miss the fixture for Bristol City.

The stats

Bristol City have won four of the last seven meetings with Norwich, including the last three matches.

Norwich have won twice and lost once in their three last matches away from home.

Six of the last eight meetings between the two sides have been settled by a margin of just one goal.

City were held to a 0-0 draw by QPR in their last outing.

Norwich were held to a 1-1 draw by Portsmouth earlier in the month.

Prediction

The race for the Championship play-offs continues to heat up with just four games of the regular season remaining and both of these sides will know the importance of picking up maximum points.

Bristol City, who have come out on top in each of the past three meetings with Norwich, are unbeaten in their last three games, but the visitors have relied on their good away form to keep them in contention for a top-six finish.

One goal has been the winning margin in each of the last two games between these two, including the Robins’ 1-0 away win in October, so there has been little to separate the pair.

With City and Norwich sharing 17 draws between them this season, another share of the spoils could be on the cards.
