  • Third Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals – 17/20

First Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City – Norwich City – Draw No Bet – 4/7

The on-field antics of Sheffield Wednesday have almost paled into insignificance this season. The ongoing saga surrounding Dejphon Chansiri is now behind them, but his legacy is still being felt.

The Owls are still under a transfer embargo and possess an extremely depleted squad, whilst the recent administration was coupled with a 12-point deduction. Still, there is an optimism around Hillsborough that hasn’t been seen for some time.

Fans returned in numbers for their last home outing but witnessed another defeat when they lost 2-1 against Oxford United. A 0-0 draw at West Bromwich Albion was an excellent point but they are yet to win in front of their own supporters.

Norwich are another team in disarray, albeit for completely different reasons. They enter this game on the back of 6 successive defeats and the pressure is on head coach Liam Manning.

This feels like a must-win and there will be a feeling behind the scenes that they can pull it out of the bag. Their first half performances have largely been excellent but have been let down by their second half showings.

Aside from the last month, the Canaries were actually fairly decent on the road, winning 2 and drawing 2 of their trips away from Carrow Road.

Second Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City – Both Teams To Score – 8/11

It may be premature to say that Sheffield Wednesday will definitely be playing League One football next season, but it is a fair assumption. However, a packed-out Hillsborough will play the role of the 12th man and the team will want to give them something to cheer about.

The Owls do rank fairly low in the both teams to score market with 46% of their games achieving this feat. Still, they’re up against that has kept just 1 clean sheet all season and will be confident they can find the back of the net.

Norwich have been involved in games where both teams have scored in 62% of their fixtures thus far. This figure increases to 71% away from Carrow Road. This is a remarkable percentage when considering that Liam Manning’s team have scored just twice in their last 6.

Third Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City – Over 2.5 Goals – 17/20

Only Hull City and Coventry City have been involved in more games which have featured 3 or more goals than Sheffield Wednesday. Eight of the Owls’ 13 Championship outings thus far have achieved this feat, which also includes 4 of their last 6.

Norwich’s recent form have seen them fall down the table in this market. Only 2 of their last 6 have been high scoring affairs but both of those games came away from home.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:

Sheffield Wednesday’s depleted squad means they’re performing as expected this season. They have just 1 league win to their name all season, which came against Portsmouth (2-0) in September.

Henrik Pedersen’s team have drawn 3 and lost 4 of their last 7, although the results as of late have been secondary to the exit of Dejphon Chansiri. They’ve also entered into administration, incurring a 12-point deduction as a result.

Since then, Hillsborough has been a happy place once again and their first game back in front of a packed out stadium saw them narrowly lose 2-1 to Oxford United. An excellent performance at the weekend saw the Yorkshire-based side pick up a hard fought point against West Bromwich Albion (0-0).

Norwich are in freefall and sit just 1 place above Wednesday in the relegation zone. Liam Manning is on the brink after 6 successive defeats, whilst they haven’t won a game since beating Blackburn Rovers at the end of August.

The Canaries are yet to pick up a single point at Carrow Road, although their away form has been better. They have won 2 and drawn 2 of their 7 outings on the road, although their last point came at Stoke City at the end of September.

Wednesday won both of last season’s meetings. The last clash saw the Owls claim a 3-2 victory at Carrow Road in March, whilst they won 2-0 at Hillsborough a year ago.

Norwich last tasted victory in this fixture in 2023, although they haven’t left Hillsborough with 3 points since 2021. Overall, Wednesday have the better head-to-head record, winning 26 of the previous 63 meetings. Norwich have 20 wins whilst 17 games have ended in a draw.
