Norwich City take on Fulham on Friday in the Championship, and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Norwich City 3-2 Fulham
Norwich are one of the most unpredictable teams in the division, and Fulham are heading there at just the wrong time, after the Canaries hammered Reading 7-1 last week. A loss could put paid to Fulham’s play-off hopes.

Norwich City 3-2 Fulham
The Canaries could hardly be more confident after a 7-1 hammering of Reading last time out so expect goals in this clash between the Championship’s joint second most prolific sides. However, if Norwich are on form, they could edge a Fulham side increasingly shaky at the back.

Norwich City 3-1 Fulham
This promises to be an intriguing game at Carrow Road between Norwich and Fulham. The Canaries extraordinary win against Reading has to give them real confidence, and their home record has actually been very good this season. Fulham will still fancy their chances and can’t afford to take their foot off the gas in the hunt for the play-off’s, but I expect this to be an open game and one in which Norwich outscore the visitors.
Norwich City 2-2 Fulham
Both teams, on their day, are fantastic to watch and can really turn on the attacking flair when they need to. With a play-off place at stake, I expect both sides to go all out for the win, and could well cancel each other out in the process.
Norwich City 3-3 Fulham
Hard to predict, if we get the Norwich side who smashed seven past Reading then it is hard to look past them, but Fulham are surely focused on chasing down that final playoff spot. Both sides are full of goals and leaky at the back, so I’m going for one heck of entertaining draw.

Norwich City 2-2 Fulham
Despite having seemingly given up on the play-offs, Saturday’s emphatic win has come as a warning to all teams still to visit Norwich this season. Fulham, as good as they’ve been, will struggle to take all three points back from Carrow Road, I feel.
