Bristol City will host Norwich City at the Robins High Performance Centre in the 38th round of the Championship on 14 March 2025 at 20:00. This match is of particular importance for both teams, as they will be looking to advance in the fight for the playoff places.
Team performance
Bristol City are currently 7th in the Championship table with 57 points, just two points behind 6th placed Coventry City. The team has been in good form recently, winning three and drawing three of their last six matches. Their most recent match was a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United, with Mark Sykes equalising in the 90th minute.
Norwich City are 11th in the table with 49 points, seven points off the play-off places. The team's form has been inconsistent, with just one win, four draws and two losses in their last seven matches. Their most recent match was a 3-2 win over Derby County, with Borja Sainz scoring a hat-trick.
Important missing items
Bristol City are without a number of key players through injury. Ayman Benarous and Luke McNally are set to miss the rest of the season with torn cruciate ligaments, while Josh Campbell-Slowey and Ross McCrorie are also out injured. However, Mark Sykes is in good form, having scored a goal as a substitute in his last game, and is expected to be given a starting role.
Norwich City also have a number of injured players. Angus Gunn is out with a muscle injury, Ben Chrisene with an ankle injury, Gabriel Forsyth with a knee injury, George Long with a concussion, Lewis Dobbin with a calf injury, Liam Gibbs with a hamstring injury, Marcelino Nunez with a muscle injury, while Matej Jurasek is out with a foot injury. However, Joshua Sargent is in excellent form, having scored eight goals in his last nine games, so he is expected to lead the attack.
Tactical analysis
Bristol City are expected to use a 3-5-2 formation, with Tanner, Dickie and Vyner in defence. Williams and Knight will control the midfield, while Sykes and Roberts will help the attack on the wings. Armstrong will be the main goal scorer in the forward line.
Norwich City prefer a 4-3-3 formation, with Fisher, Duffy, Córdoba and Stacey forming the back four in defence. In midfield, McLean, Forson and Ben Slimane are responsible for winning the ball and building the attacks. In attack, Sainz, Sargent and Crnac will try to take the opponent's goal.
Weather conditions
The weather in Bristol is expected to be mild during the match, with temperatures around 10°C and minimal rainfall. Wind speeds will be low, so the weather will not significantly affect the course of the game.
