Footymad preview History of the Norwich City v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Norwich City are ready to welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 25 previous games, with the Canaries winning just 8.

The previous match played between the two at Carrow Road was more than three years back, in October 2008, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in a Championship match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Norwich City, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw
