Norwich City vs Sunderland Prediction: Sunderland are coming into the game with three consecutive games

Norwich City and Sunderland are set to conclude round 36 of the EFL Championship on Sunday at the Carrow Road Stadium. 

Norwich City’s Form

Norwich made a significant climb in the league standings by overtaking Millwall to secure a place in the playoffs following an exhilarating 3-2 victory over the Lions in their previous fixture.

They have managed to remain unbeaten for five consecutive matches in the league, securing four victories and a draw since suffering a 1-0 loss to Bristol City on February 11.

Norwich City currently sits in the sixth position of the Championship table with 55 points earned from 35 matches. The team is only one point behind Millwall, which currently occupies the playoff spot in the league standings.

Norwich’s possible lineup

Gunn; Aarons, Gibson, Hanley, Giannoulis; McLean; Hernandez, Sorensen, Sara, Idah; Pukki.

Sunderland’s Form

Sunderland's attempts to elevate their position in the standings were thwarted as they suffered a distressing 5-1 loss to Stoke City, failing to secure a place in the top half of the Championship table.

Sunderland's recent form has been subpar, as they have been unable to secure a victory in their last four fixtures, accumulating only one point out of the last 12 available.

They currently occupy the 11th position in the Championship table with 49 points garnered from 35 matches. However, a triumph in their upcoming match could potentially level their points with Coventry City, which is currently positioned in eighth place.

Sunderland’s possible lineup

Patterson; Hume, Ballard, Bath, Alese; Neil, Pritchard; Amad, Roberts, Clarke; Gelhardt;
