Middlesbrough vs Norwich assessment: Run at full speed
With 6 points more than the 7th place held by Preston himself, Middlesbrough seems to have started thinking about the promotion play-off round. As evidenced by the last 3 rounds, Boro competed all under strength and not once the song was triumphant.
After losing respectively to Huddersfield and Burnley, they let the team sit in the bottom half of the table - Bristol drew 2-2. Of course, Middlesbrough did not win the match in the above 3 matches.
On the opposite side, Norwich are running at full speed to reach the finish line in the top 6. At this time, the yellow jersey team is in 8th place, one point behind the 6th place held by Blackburn. If the song triumphs in this round, Norwich can completely think of a happy ending.
Norwich's recent away form is quite good. They are unbeaten in the last 4 consecutive matches, earning a total of 8/12 maximum points. Most recently, Norwich defeated Blackburn with a score of 2-0. Notably, Norwich are on a 3-match winning streak at Middlesbrough's field, all with a score of 1-0.
