Norwich v Sheffield Wednesday

Norwich vs Sheffield Wednesday Preview

Norwich City were held to a disappointing 0-0 stalemate at home by Preston NE on Saturday in the Championship but The Canaries have another chance to pick up an important three points in midweek when they play host to Championship strugglers, Sheffield Wednesday, as the two sides face off at Carrow Road with the visitors seeking a third league win on the trot.

Although they were held to a point on the weekend, this result nevertheless extended Norwich City's encouraging uplift in form and results in recent times to just one defeat in their last five games overall in the English second tier which included picking up previous wins against Cardiff City, QPR and Bristol City respectively.

Norwich City now occupy a disappointing 13th place in the Championship table on paper, but it's worth noting that the hosts are now just three points adrift of the play-off pack as they reside in a heavily congested mid-table position prior to these midweek fixtures.

This recent upsurge in fortunes for Norwich City will have come as welcome relief after The Canaries had previously failed to win any of their preceding six league matches which included being handed five defeats within this dismal period but the hosts will be in confident mood for Wednesday night's clash.

Sheffield Wednesday have also experienced an upturn in fortunes in recent weeks in the Championship as The Owls have gained back-to-back wins in the English second tier which have come in the form of wins against Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City which has given the Yorkshire club renewed confidence and belief that they can still get themselves out of their current predicament.

The visitors still occupy a place in the bottom three of the Championship table where they trail Yorkshire rivals and fourth from bottom outfit, Huddersfield Town, by a significant eight-point margin so Sheffield Wednesday know they would still be in the relegation zone even if they claimed all three points away at Norwich City on Wednesday night.

With just one win away from home all season though whilst slipping to no fewer than eight defeats within their 10 outings on the road to date this term, this upcoming trip to east Anglia to take on Norwich City looks to be another tricky proposition for Danny Rohl's side, especially as the visitors have managed to collect just one win from their last 14 away games, losing 11 of these games along with failing to score in seven of these matches as well.

Norwich City v Sheffield Wednesday Verdict

Norwich City certainly look the more likely to capture the all-important three points in this upcoming encounter especially as The Canaries have won three of the last four meetings against their visitors.

Therefore, our main bet will be Norwich City win @ 1.90
