Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City Prediction: Owls set for Canaries backlash

After being stunned by a late defeat at the hands of Cardiff City, Norwich City will be determined to bounce back at the first time of asking when they face strugglers Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night (19:45, Sky Sports+).

Read on for my Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City prediction, as well as team news and match odds.

The Canaries looked on course for all three points on Saturday in the Welsh capital, before the Bluebirds scored in the 89th and 90th minute to claim a memorable win.

Norwich will be cursing their luck as Cardiff’s equaliser took a heavy deflection before the momentum of the game completely shifted.

There was nothing unlucky about Sheffield Wednesday’s 6-2 home defeat at the hands of Watford and this looks like a good time for Norwich to be playing the Owls in a bid to get back to winning ways.

Team News

Wednesday quartet Ben Hamer, Michael Ihiekwe, Nathaniel Chalobah and Olaf Kobacki are all ruled out of Tuesday's game due to injuries, while Akin Famewo is out for the next few months after picking up an issue against Portsmouth in October.

Football Odds

Norwich have a substantial injury list of their own, with Angus Gunn, Anis Ben Slimane, Ashley Barnes, Liam Gibbs, Marcelino Nunez and Onel Hernandez all sidelined.

With Josh Sargent also likely to miss out with a muscle complaint, Ante Crnac is primed to start up front, while Kenny McLean will be a notable absentee in the midfield due to suspension.

A draw at Hillsborough is available at 5/2, while Norwich to win both halves is currently 9/1.

Match Result - Norwich City @ 2/1

Norwich have a good record in this fixture, with the Canaries unbeaten in their last six Championship games against Wednesday (4W, 2D).

The Canaries are dealing with a host of injuries but they look capable of beating an Owls side that were woeful against Watford last time out.

Wednesday have failed to score in two of their last three home games in the Championship and Norwich should have enough quality in the final third to claim a much-needed win in their hopes of keeping up with the top six.

Anytime Goalscorer - Borja Sainz (NOR) @ 8/5

A player who stands out at Championship level, Borja Sainz is good value to add to his 11 goals already in the league this season.

Borja has scored four goals in Norwich’s last three games and he also netted both home and away against Wednesday in the Championship last season.

At odds of 8/5, Sainz is worth considering to keep his goalscoring run going and adding to Wednesday’s woes.
