Correct score prediction: Norwich 1-1 QPR

HOME: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.6%
DRAW: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%
AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%

Player to watch – Borja Sainz
Borja Sainz has simply been a revelation this season, boasting a total of 15 goals in the Championship which unsurprisingly makes him the division's top scorer. Nonetheless, he could well make the difference should Norwich record successive victories at Carrow Road.
