Cardiff vs Norwich Analysis<\/h3>\n

Last season\u2019s Premier League bottom side Norwich will look for a quick rebound ahead of this year as they kick off their new Championship season with a visit from Cardiff on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cardiff for their part endured a miserable start to last season\u2019s Championship campaign opening up with just three wins over their initial 15 games to rank firmly in the relegation zone over the first third of the season.<\/p>\n

After that, however, Cardiff ranked top half in the league over the back half of the season as they eventually climbed their way out of danger to finish in 18th position overall.<\/p>\n

Norwich has a solid record in the Welsh capital, winning four of their last five head-to-heads here.<\/p>\n

Norwich\u2019s Yo-Yo Effect<\/h3>\n

Last season\u2019s demotion from the Premier League for Norwich marked the fourth time such an event occurred over just the last nine years so it\u2019s been a fairly constant theme of Norwich being too good for the Championship yet falling short at the top table in the English Premier League.<\/p>\n

However, that yo-yo status should bode well for them ahead of this season and unlike many teams, they\u2019ve done a great job of keeping most of their talent in-house despite the demotion as well.<\/p>\n

Striker Teemu Pukki is the bookie’s favorite to be the top goalscorer this season in the Championship and Norwich boasts Premier League-level talent in Max Aarons and Todd Cantwell also.<\/p>\n

Cardiff Looks To Bounce Back<\/h3>\n

The Bluebirds will look to start the new Championship season on a much fresher note this year as they endured their worst finish to a Championship season in almost 20 years last year, a feat they hope won\u2019t repeat itself this season.<\/p>\n

To make sure that doesn\u2019t happen, Cardiff manager Steve Morrison has beefed up his squad in the off-season, adding players such as Liverpool\u2019s Sheyi Ojo and West Brom\u2019s Romaine Sawyers in attack as Cardiff looks to rebound from the Championship\u2019s 5th worst goal haul last year.<\/p>\n

Cardiff vs Norwich\u00a0Prediction<\/h2>\n

Norwich is a perennial quick starter in the Championship, having not lost an opening day matchup in each of their last four seasons, and faces a team in Cardiff who is the exact opposite, winning just one opening day game over their last nine Championship seasons combined.<\/p>\n

That could be key here as Norwich look to set a marker in this division early and kick start their campaign back to the Premier League with a statement win here on Saturday.<\/p>\n

With Norwich having such a strong head-to-head record in Cardiff as well, we\u2019re backing the Canaries to overcome the Bluebirds this weekend at odds of +140 over in the Welsh capital.<\/p>\n
