Game Preview
In a cup match, Bristol Rovers will play a Championship team for the second occasion this year. In the FA Cup coming Saturday, they’ll be heading to Norwich City with the hopes of getting back to winning ways.
Bristol Rovers, who are currently residing in mid-table within League Two, have demonstrated a strong penchant for scoring goals during their FA Cup adventures thus far. They have scored an incredible 11 goals throughout their first two meetings with Crewe Alexandra and Whitby Town. The Gas, on the other hand, have not advanced past round three of the FA Cup since making it to the quarterfinals in 2007–08. Since then, they have dropped their previous 5 FA Cup games. They began 2024 with a disappointing loss to Wycombe on Monday evening. The Pirates have conceded a minimum of two goals in 5 of their previous 6 away games, demonstrating their vulnerability defensively. They go into Carrow Road on a losing run of 4 matches against Norwich, who defeated them 3-0 in their most recent meeting, a League One match in May 2010.
Norwich’s celebrations have subsided after going 5 matches without defeat at the beginning of December. The team lost their last two 2023 contests on the road, 1-0 to Millwall and West Bromwich Albion. This has left the team with a three-match losing streak. On January 1st, the Canaries were also going to lose to promotion-chasing Southampton, but a goal from Joshua Sargent guaranteed Norwich a respectable draw. Even though David Wagner‘s club is currently 13th in the league and solidly set in mid-table, Norwich is just 5 points out of the playoff spots. For the time being, though, Norwich will merely try to avoid consecutive FA Cup third-round exits, a competition in which they never triumphed or even advanced to the final, after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at this point in the 2022–2023 season.
