Norwich was in dire need of a win in the league after a series of four matches without a victory. However, they were able to precisely secure that, with a 2-0 triumph against the sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers.
Norwich City currently holds the seventh position in the table, making the outcome of their recent match against Blackburn Rovers significant. This is especially true for David Wagner's men, who have slipped out of the top six after a series of disappointing results, which includes two losses and two draws.
The Canaries head into their next fixture against the same team they have defeated in their last five encounters, thereby holding a significant advantage. Additionally, the host's four consecutive home wins on Easter Monday since April 2007 further instill confidence for them to clinch back-to-back victories. However, Rotherham United's historical record on Easter Monday, with an aggregate score of 11-3 in league games, may not bode well for their prospects at Carrow Road.
Norwich’s possible lineup
Gunn; Aarons, Omobamidele, McCallum, Giannoulis; Sorensen, Sara; Marquinhos, Gibbs, Hernandez; Sargent.
Rotherham United’s Form
Following a series of three matches without securing maximum points, Matt Taylor's team managed to return to winning ways on Good Friday with a 3-1 triumph against West Bromwich Albion.
Despite facing two defeats against Birmingham City and Preston North End, the Millers have not suffered any significant setbacks. Instead, they were able to gather four points from the last six points available, thereby showcasing their resilience.
Given the narrow gap of three points and a mere four places that separate Rotherham from the relegation zone, a defeat at the hands of Norwich could potentially lead to a slide closer to the dreaded bottom three for Matt Taylor's team.
Rotherham United’s possible lineup
Johansson; Harding, Humphreys, Blackett, Bramall; Odofin, Coventry, Fosu-Henry; Ogbene, Hugill, Ferguson.
Norwich vs Rotherham expert tips
Despite facing injury setbacks at the backline and a recent two-game losing streak at Carrow Road, the Canaries are still predicted to secure a win in this fixture against Rotherham. The visitors' unimpressive results on the road, with only 11 goals from 20 games, hardly present a convincing case for them to emerge as favorites. There is a possibility that the upcoming match could see more than 2.5 goals being scored.
