Norwich City vs Blackpool Prediction
Norwich City officially saw their promotion aspirations end last week with their defeat to West Bromwich Albion. The Canaries have paid the price for a disastrous run in the last few weeks that sabotaged their early-season push for automatic promotion.
Blackpool, for their part, have paid the price for a leaky defence and have been relegated to League One. Carrow Road will bid farewell to modern-day icon Teemu Pukki who is bringing his five-year association with the club to an end.
The 33-year-old Finland international will want to sign out with a goal and should fire Norwich City to a comfortable win.
