Exciting Preview of Norwich City’s Upcoming Away Match

Norwich City will host Bristol City in a Sky Bet Championship match on Saturday, October 18th, at 3 PM. The match takes place at the historic Carrow Road stadium. Both teams are looking to improve their performance in the league.

Current Form: Bristol City

Bristol City travels to Norwich with an unbeaten away record in the current Championship season. They recently achieved a 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday and drew without scoring against Preston North End. However, they remain keen to snap a winless streak that spans four matches.

Earlier in the season, Bristol City’s offense was prolific, netting 12 goals in their first five league games. However, since then, they have only scored three goals and secured just two points from their last four fixtures. Last season, Bristol City successfully defeated Norwich in both league encounters, winning 2-1 away and 2-0 at home. Their last loss at Carrow Road occurred in September 2022, when they fell 3-2.

Current Form: Norwich City

Norwich City is currently grappling with challenges after a promising start. Coach Liam Manning, who took the reins in June 2025, inherited a team that has seen significant turnover, with 20 new players brought in this summer. Despite this influx, key players like Jonathan Rowe and Marcelino Núñez have departed.

This season, Norwich has won two matches, drawn two, and lost five, placing them 19th in the league. Their victories came early, including a 2-1 win against Portsmouth and a 2-0 triumph over Blackburn Rovers. Since those wins, Norwich has struggled, with draws against Coventry City and Stoke City alongside defeats to Wrexham, West Bromwich Albion, and Ipswich Town. They have scored in eight out of nine league encounters, yet defense is a concern, with only one clean sheet and 14 goals conceded.
