The draw in home last Tuesday against Nottingham Forest cost Norwich City the leading position of the Championship. Norwich now has the task of taking it back when number five Derby County comes to visit on Carrow Road. A preview!
Norwich City:
At first glance, it seems a disappointment for Norwich City to play a match against Nottingham Forest. Competitor Leeds United has won three points on The Canaries due to the victory. The game against Forest ended in a goal-rich 3-3. Whoever has seen the game, however, will still look at the final score in astonishment. in the 75th minute, Forest was 0-3 ahead on Carrow Road. Despite much more possession and many opportunities for the home team, the highly effective Forest seemed to be heading for a victory in Norwich. A reversed shot by Mario Vrancic (76th minute) seemed to be just a patch on the wounds.
However, the miracles did not seem to be out of the world, as substitute Onel Hernandez scored a goal both in the fourth and eighth minute of the extra time, thereby unreasonably defeating Norwich for defeat. The Cuban striker caused an unprecedented joy explosion on Carrow Road. Coach Daniel Farke was very positive about The Canaries after the game: “I am so proud of the players and especially the way they kept going. The same can be said about the fans. The way they continued to support us, despite the 0-3 deficit, was great. They kept us in the game in this way ‘, said a proud coach.
Derby County:
Derby County has not been able to impress in the midweek duel with Sheffield United. The match with the immediate competitor for promotion was lost with 3-1. Because of the defeat, The Rams dropped to the sixth place of the Championship. In case of a defeat on a visit to Norwich City, no less than four teams can climb over Derby in the rankings. Despite some strong months, Frank Lampard’s team is already three games without victory at the moment.
The only highlight in Sheffield was the equalizer of Harry Wilson. The mercenary of Liverpool shot a free kick flawlessly in the goal of Dean Henderson. For the 21-year-old Wilson, it meant his eighth goal in the Championship this season.
In the vanguard Wilson got help from Florian Jozefzoon. Just as in the 1-1 draw against Bristol City, Lampard had cleared a spot in the base for the Dutch winger. After several months in which the former player of PSV and RKC Waalwijk had to do it mostly with incursions, Jozefzoon has now found himself in the basics of The Rams again.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.54
