A five-game wining streak in the Championship across February and March put Blackburn in a strong position to secure a playoff spot. However, defeats to Stoke City and Birmingham have left Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side needing to rediscover some form to ease the pressure heading into the run-in. Fortunately, the Riversiders earned a thrilling 2-1 win over Reading mid-way through March, thanks to Ben Brereton Diaz’ second-minute opener and an 82nd-minute winner by Ryan Hedges. It was Blackburn’s 19th league-win of the season. Blackburn have a match in hand over the fellow playoff challengers, therefore a victory on Friday will take them to fifth spot in the standings, closing the gap on the top two to just nine points. Meanwhile, the Rovers secured a narrow win over the Canaries in the reverse fixture at Carrow Road in January, thanks to Jack Vale’s goal on the half-hour mark.
Norwich, on the other hand, are winless in their last four outings, taking just two points during that period. Goals are proving two be an issue for David Wagner’s side with just one strike coming from matches with Sunderland, Huddersfield Town, Stoke City and Sheffield United. On Saturday, Norwich lost to the Blades courtesy of John McAtee’s lone goal on the hour-mark. The Canaries’ last win came against Millwall (3-2), at the start of March courtesy of Jacob Sorensen’s 38th-minute effort, and own goal by Tom Bradshaw ten minutes into the second half and Gabriel Sara 65th-minute strike. It was Norwich’s 16th second tier victory this season.
