MATCH PREVIEW:
Norwich City face League 1 side, Gillingham in their penultimate pre-season match on Tuesday as they look to keep the good form going.
The Canaries beat Huddersfield Town in their last match 2-0 with Pukki and Idahg scoring the goals.
This gave the recently promoted Premier League side successive wins and a good start to the new season; where they once again come up against the top sides like Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd and others.
Prior to this, they beat King’s Town Lynn in their opening game.
Norwich will face Premier League opponents, Newcastle in their final pre-season match before the curtain raiser against Liverpool.
Hence, they eye a victory run to begin their season in dominant fashion.
On the other hand, Gillingham lost their previous match against Leyton Orient 2-0 and have been winless in their last 2 matches.
The League 1 side begin their campaign against Lincoln on Saturday and will want to settle their combinations and get the team going before that clash.
This is Gillingham’s final opportunity to get their core team settled for the new season.
Both sides last met in the 2010 League Cup where Norwich beat Gillingham 4-1.

Prediction: Norwich 3-0 Gillingham

Gillingham have not been in the best of form and could suffer the onslaught.
