History of the Norwich City v Cardiff City fixture

Norwich City prepare to entertain Cardiff City at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 17 of the 22 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Carrow Road was just last season, in September 2007, with Cardiff City inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Canaries in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Norwich City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 9 to 8.

Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Bluebirds have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Norwich City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 36 points from their 37 games thus far. Cardiff City are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 59 points from 34 games.
