Norwich City

The Canaries are currently a typical middleweight in the second most important English league, but the club has the task of returning to the elite of English football. The club's management understands everything, but it won't be easy at all. In the current season of the Championship, Norwich has played 31 matches and won 11 victories in them, suffered defeats in 10 games and achieved world titles in as many matches. In the last round, the team failed to beat Derby County (1-1), conceding the return goal from the penalty spot in the second compensated minute of the match. A game earlier, Johannes Thorup's team emerged victorious in the match with Watford (1-0). As a result, they finished eighth in the standings, with 43 points in the asset and only two points behind the sixth Blackburn.

Preston North End

Current form
Last weekend, the Ryan Lowe-led team played the 1/16 FA Cup final match against the Wycombe Wanderers. The match ended in a goalless draw, but in the penalty shootout, the invincibles emerged victorious and thus made it to the 1/8 finals. Preston is playing its Championship season at its own level, has won eight victories, lost nine matches and achieved a damn dozen world titles. In the last round, the club was defeated by Blackburn (1-2), but beat Middlesbrough with the same score a game earlier, scoring one goal in each half. As a result, the intermediate 15th place in the standings, 37 points in the asset and the gap from the TOP 6 reached eight points, which will be extremely difficult to win back.
