As they look to climb into the playoff places, Norwich City will face Preston North End, who are mid-table, at Carrow Road in Tuesday’s Championship battle.

The Canaries have soared up the league table, fueled by a recent surge in form that saw them collect a decent seven points from their last three second-tier outings, dismantling Swansea 5-1 and edging past Watford 1-0 before salvaging a 1-1 draw against Derby County. After being knocked out of the playoff semifinals last term, Norwich City will have to chase promotion through the playoffs once again, considering they find themselves facing a massive 21-point deficit behind Sheffield United, who occupy the final automatic promotion spot.

It seems inevitable that Preston North End will once again settle for a place in the second division, stretching their tenure to 11 years, as their tendency to be caught in drawn-out affairs—13 times in 30 matches this season—has hindered their chances of climbing the table and mounting a genuine promotion challenge. Otherwhise, the Lilywhites secured their name in the last-16 draw of the English FA Cup after seeing off Wycombe Wanerers thanks to a penalty-shootout success over the weekend, so they head to Carrow Road in a positive mood.

Norwich City vs Preston North End Betting Tips : NORWICH TO WIN

A midweek victory could propel the Canaries into the playoff spots, so we are confident that their motivation and hunger for success will be immense, making us believe they will do whatever it takes to cross the finish line as victors. Although they’ve shown significant improvement in results since the start of 2025, Preston North End have been completely unconvincing away from home this season, managing to scrape just two wins out of 15 second-tier visits. With such a poor away record, it’s simply unrealistic to expect Hemmings’ team to cause problems for Norwich, who have shown strong form recently on home soil, going unbeaten in their last five home matches, three of which they won. Considering that the Canaries have been relentless in front of goal on their home turf, rattling the net an impressive 37 times from 15 matches, it’s clear that backing the home side is a wise choice.
