Norwich City vs Swansea City Prediction: Swansea is playing with renewed belief which can cause trouble for the Canaries

Norwich City is set to host Swansea City on Saturday at Carrow Road. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

After David Wagner's initial impact at Carrow Road, Norwich fans were filled with optimism, but they now find themselves back at square one. Although only two points below the playoffs, Norwich have played a game more than two of the teams above them, having won only one of their last eight games. Despite conceding only five goals during that period, the Canaries have scored just five times themselves. While a trip to promotion rivals West Bromwich Albion is on the horizon, Norwich first need to overcome Swansea this weekend, having failed to win any of their last three home games and failing to score in each of those matches.

Swansea may feel that their recent resurgence has come too late, despite still having a match against West Brom to play. Russell Martin believes that winning three more games could potentially secure them a playoff spot, but their focus should still be on finishing in the top 10, considering they spent most of the season outside of those positions. Although they were unconvincing in the second half of their midweek win against Preston North End, Swansea have managed to keep four clean sheets in their last six games.

Saturday's match is crucial for both teams, as a win is an only realistic option. The game promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with Norwich possibly taking the lead at some point. However, Swansea is playing with renewed belief which can cause trouble for the Canaries but we expect Norwich to get the job done with less than 2.5 goals scored in the game.
