LiontipsSheffield Wednesday vs Norwich. Prediction (odds 2.25) and bets on the Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Sheffield Wednesday barely managed to stay in the Championship last season, finishing three points clear of relegated Birmingham. It looks like the hosts will face a tough fight for survival this time around. The club is in 18th place in the league table and is again only three points clear of the relegation zone. It is clear that the Owls have a hard time competing with the league strongest clubs. For example, in the last round the team suffered a heavy defeat to Watford (2:6), although before that they managed to bring the match with EPL member Brentford to a penalty shootout in the English League Cup. Wednesday last victory was against the division main outsider, Portsmouth (2:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts are missing Nathaniel Chalobah, Akin Famewo, Ben Hamer, Michael Ihiekwe and Olaf Kobacki due to various injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have won only one of their last five matches.
- At home, the team has suffered two defeats in its last three matches
Estimated lineup : Beadle - Bernard, Iorfa, Palmer - Johnson, Bannan, Charles, Valerie - Gassama, Windass - Smith
Current form
Norwich are performing slightly better than today hosts, but the Canaries are clearly counting on something more. The team is only in 10th place in the table, but plans to fight for a return to the English Premier League. This season, the club has many strong competitors, so it will clearly not be easy. In attack, the visitors are still acting great - 23 goals scored in 13 matches. In this indicator, Norwich shares first place with Sunderland, the main favorite in the championship race.
After a big win over Hull City (4:0), the visitors slowed down and drew three times in a row. Johannes Thorup charges drew with Stoke City (1:1), Preston (2:2) and Middlesbrough (3:3). In the last round, the team suffered an unexpected defeat to Cardiff (1:2).

2.15Tip and bets
The hosts conceded six goals from Watford in the last round, and there is an explanation for this. Several players in the defensive line were injured, and experienced goalkeeper Ben Hamer is also unavailable. Now the Owls' goal is protected by 20-year-old James Beadle, who does not always cope with the pressure. Considering that the visitors are one of the most productive teams in the championship, we should expect a scattering of goals from this match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the outcome
The visitors are superior to their opponents in terms of player selection and have much more serious goals for the season. Norwich has already lost a lot of points in the last rounds, so the team will clearly be properly tuned in for the match with the Owls. We will be very surprised if the Canaries do not secure an away victory over their opponents.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Norwich. This bet is offered for 2.25
Bet on corners
We believe that the visitors will have the initiative on the field, which should lead to their advantage in the number of corners taken.
Bet - total over 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.87
