Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich Prediction: Canaries fancied to turn things around

Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich have both had seasons to forget thus far and will be hoping they can pick up crucial wins at the bottom of the second tier. The Owls have suffered a points deduction and are bottom of the table while Norwich have lost six games on the spin, putting manager Liam Manning under all sorts of pressure.

We have picked out the best bets for what should be an intriguing clash between the bottom two of the Championship. Below you can find my Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich predictions. 

Team news

Both teams are dealing with a wealth of injuries, with Wednesday set to be without Ernie Weaver, Pierce Charles, Olaf Kobacki, George Brown, Nathaniel Chalobah and Di’Shon Bernard.

As a result expect the Owls to field a similar team to the one which secured a draw against West Brom at the weekend.

Football Odds

Norwich are not unscathed either with Jose Cordoba, Ben Chrisene, Jack Stacey, Ante Crnac and Lucien Mahovo all set to miss out.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich Odds

Norwich have been installed as 5/4 favourites for the victory, while Sheffield Wednesday are on offer at 11/5 and the draw is available at 12/5.

Over 2.5 goals is available to back at 10/11, while both teams to score is priced at 8/11 and it is 7/4 for over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Norwich to win @ 5/4 

Norwich’s three wins this season have all come away from home and they are fancied to pick up a fourth when they visit Hillsborough.

The Canaries may have lost six on the spin but the underlying figures suggest that they have not quite been as bad as the bare results, seven teams have a worse expected goals figure than Norwich’s -3.1.

One of those is Sheffield Wednesday, who have lost six of their seven home league games. They are both the lowest scorers and have the worst defensive record in the Championship.

The Owls are putting up a brave fight against relegation but their off-field issues, coupled with their injury concerns, mean that they can barely rotate and fatigue looks likely to play a part in this one.

Side with Norwich to snap their losing run and pick up a crucial victory.

Josh Sargent to score at any time @ 7/5

Josh Sargent was one of the top scorers in the Championship last season despite missing large chunks of the campaign through injury and he has been in fine form again this time around.

The American has already scored six goals in all competitions and can add to his tally against the worst defence in the second tier.
