Norwich City vs Birmingham predictions: Canaries to maintain excellent form
Ross Kilvington
Norwich have lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions
Birmingham are unbeaten in their last seven Championship games
Recommended bet: Norwich to win
Norwich City will be looking to continue their excellent form when they welcome Birmingham City to Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon.
The Canaries have won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions and head coach Philippe Clement has certainly rejuvenated the East Anglian outfit.
The visitors have only lost once in the Championship this year as they currently occupy 11th place in the league table.
A win on Saturday could even see them vault into the play-off places should other results go their way, but the Blues face a major test against the now-flying Canaries.

Team news
Clement has a severe injury crisis on his hands ahead of the game.
Matej Jurasek, Jovon Makama, Harry Amas, Pelle Mattsson, Gabe Forsyth, Ante Crnac, Jeffrey Schlupp, Mirko Topic, Shane Duffy, Lucien Mahovo and Amankwah Forson will all miss the match.
Blues boss Chris Davies also has a few players out, but nowhere near the number of absentees for the hosts.
Seung-Ho Paik (shoulder), Jack Robinson (hamstring), Alex Cochrane (ankle) and Ethan Laird (hamstring) will be unavailable for the weekend action.
All four players are expected to return before the end of February, however, giving Davies and his squad a massive boost.
The stats
While Birmingham have won the previous two meetings between these two sides, including a 4-1 win in November 2025, it is Norwich who have the better of the head-to-head since the beginning of 2020.
Indeed, the Canaries have won six of the last eight meetings in all competitions during that period.
Both teams have scored across five of those eight matches.
Norwich have scored 42 goals across their 32 league games this season, while conceding 42 times.
The Blues have found the back of the net on 43 occasions and have conceded three fewer than the Canaries this season.
Jovon Makama is Norwich's top scorer this season with 13 goals across all competitions.
For Birmingham, Jay Stansfield leads the way with 10 goals and he scored twice against Norwich in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Prediction
The two clubs are separated by just seven points in the standings, but Norwich can continue their ascent up the table with another victory.
Clement has worked wonders at the club and moving away from the relegation zone was arguably the key aim when he took over.
Birmingham are also in a good place under Davies and will be looking to complete a league double over the East Anglia side for the first time this century.
Norwich will be out for revenge on Saturday and, given how well they have been performing of late, the Canaries start this match as deserved favourites.
