Norwich vs Southampton Prediction After Confirmed Lineups
Southampton head into the encounter as slight favourites, backed by a formidable run that has seen them remain undefeated in 28 of their last 30 Championship matches. Norwich, meanwhile, come into the fixture having lost their last three league outings and conceding at least twice in each of those defeats, making the visitors well placed to claim the points away from home.
Score Prediction: 1-2
