Norwich – 4/7 Draw – 29/10 Oxford – 9/2 Norwich v Oxford prediction Norwich head into the weekend looking to close the four point gap that currently separates themselves from the play-off places as they seek a return to the Premier League after three years now in the second tier. Johannes Thorup’s side have lost only one of their last seven matches ahead of the visit of Oxford on Friday night, but have also won just one of their last five, drawing their third games in five matches at Blackburn last week to leave them just out of reach of the top six. The Canaries do boast one of the better home records in the second tier this season though, with only three defeats in their 17 league games at Carrow Road this season, including just one in their last seven. Heading to Norfolk on Friday night are an Oxford side without a win in their last seven games, and currently on a three match losing streak, which has seen the start of a small collapse down the table that they’ll be looking to put an end with victory in East Anglia on Friday night. Gary Rowett took over the Us when they were down in the relegation zone just before Christmas and won five of his first seven league games in charge, without losing any of his first nine, to guide the club towards midtable in their first season back in the second tier since 2000-01. While the Oxfordshire side are still seven points clear of the bottom three there doesn’t need to be too much cause for concern regarding their Championship status, but if their three match losing streak extends much further then they may start looking over their shoulders worryingly. Last season’s League One play-off champions have struggled on the road in the second tier this season, winning only one of their 17 games on the road so far this campaign, and scoring only 10 goals in those games. Norwich will head into the weekend’s opening Championship clash as strong favourites for victory as they seek a return to winning ways to get their play-off dreams back on track, and with Oxford’s away record leaving more than a little to be desired, it leaves scope for it to be quite a comfortable night for the Canaries. I expect the Norfolk side to get back to winning ways with relative comfort, I don’t think a 3-0 home win seems unreasonable. Norwich v Oxford betting tips Norwich are the Championship’s second highest scorers this season and despite also conceding a fair few, only Plymouth have scored fewer goals on the road than Oxford, who haven’t scored in their last four away games. Josh Sargent has scored seven goals in his last seven Championship appearances and will fancy his chances at adding to the 11 goals he’s scored in this injury-plagued season for him against an Oxford side bereft of confidence.
