Stoke will host Norwich in one of the most interesting games of the new round of the Championship. They confirmed their great form with a great result against one of the teams with the best form in the league, Middlesbrough. They played 1-1 and I must say that they were very close to victory with the game they showed. Middlesbrough managed to get a point mainly because of their excellent goalkeeping. The most dangerous individuals in Stoke were the brilliant Campbell and Smallbone who were a constant threat to the home team's goal. It was a fantastic overall performance from Alex Neil's men who limited the attacking mighty Middlesboro to only three shots on goal. Although they have very little chance of reaching the playoffs, that does not prevent Stoke from causing serious problems for the teams that are candidates for those places. The last three matches were played against those teams and have the effect of 2 wins and 1 draw, in which they scored as many as 9 goals. If they play in a similar way as in the last match, they have a really great chance to at least not lose this match, if not to win three points.

As for Norwich, it is another team that hopes to end the season in a place that secures the play off. They are currently in 7th place, one place behind the desired position, with 4 points less. It seemed that they found their form when they tied three wins, but then happened what is Norwich's biggest problem this season. Inconsistency in the game is something that follows them all season and because of that they pay the price of a slightly worse position. Completely unexpectedly, they lost at home against Sunderland 1-0, and in the next round, perhaps even more unexpectedly, they only played 1-1 against Huddersfield. In this way, they lost a step for the leading 6 teams and must return to the winning track as soon as possible. They will have a really difficult task to do it in this match, as the movement of odds before the start of the match shows. Stoke have been playing with a lot of confidence lately and they have a great offensive part of the team that can make up for any shortcomings in the defense. Duels between these two teams have brought goals throughout history and it would not be a surprise if it would be the same in today's match because Norwich has to start with three points, but Stoke also has something to respond to their attacks. I expect a very uncertain match, but I honestly believe that Stoke can win at least one point in this match.

斯托克城将在新一轮英冠最有趣的比赛之一中主场迎战诺维奇。他们在对阵联赛中状态最好的球队之一米德尔斯堡的比赛中取得了很好的成绩，证实了他们的良好状态。他们打了1-1，我必须说他们在比赛中表现得非常接近胜利。米德尔斯堡取得一分主要是因为他们出色的守门员。斯托克城最危险的球员是出色的坎贝尔和斯莫伯恩，他们经常威胁到主队的球门。亚历克斯·尼尔的球员们表现出色，他们将进攻强大的米德尔斯堡限制在只有三次射门的范围内。尽管斯托克城几乎没有机会进入季后赛，但这并不能阻止他们给那些争夺这些席位的球队带来严重的问题。最近的三场比赛都是与这些球队进行的，结果是2胜1平，他们在比赛中进了9个球。如果他们能像上一场比赛那样发挥，他们有很大的机会至少不会输掉这场比赛，如果不能赢得三分的话。

至于诺维奇，这是另一支希望在赛季结束时能确保比赛顺利进行的球队。他们目前排在第7位，落后理想位置一位，少了4分。当他们三连胜时，他们似乎找到了自己的状态，但随后发生了诺维奇本赛季最大的问题。他们整个赛季都在比赛中表现不稳定，正因为如此，他们付出了一个稍差的位置。完全出乎意料的是，他们在主场0 -1输给了桑德兰，而在下一轮，也许更出乎意料的是，他们只和哈德斯菲尔德打了1-1。就这样，他们失去了领先6支球队的一步，必须尽快回到胜利的轨道上。在这场比赛中，他们将面临一个非常困难的任务，因为比赛开始前的赔率变化表明。斯托克城最近踢得很有信心，他们拥有强大的进攻力量，可以弥补防守上的任何不足。这两支球队之间的决斗在历史上都带来了进球，如果今天的比赛也一样，那就不足为奇了，因为诺维奇必须先拿三分，但斯托克城也有东西可以应对他们的进攻。我期待着一场非常不确定的比赛，但我真的相信斯托克城至少能在这场比赛中赢得一分。
