Norwich City vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips : Norwich to Win

Despite an all-encompassing display of dominance against their Saturday opposition, the Canaries were thwarted in their attempts to crack Preston North End's defensive blockade, resulting in a frustrating goalless draw of 0-0 and relinquishing a golden opportunity to strengthen their grip on Championship playoff berths.

Head coach David Wagner and his troops don't need to scratch their heads after the weekend clash, as their form continues to ascend week by week, with the last five Championship fixtures yielding a respectable total of 10 points, signifying a significant rebound from the crisis period between early October and the initial days of November (D1, L5).

Those heading to Carrow Road in midweek, Sheffield Wednesday, are on a high note entering matchday 21, having impressively held Championship leaders Leicester City to a 1-1 draw on November 29, followed by back-to-back wins against Blackburn Rovers 3-1 and a tight 1-0 victory away at Stoke City over the weekend.

The Saturday showdown with a happy ending, all thanks to substitute Anthony Musaba, who netted a goal in the first minute of injury time, secured the first maximum points on away turf for the South Yorkshire side this season, after previously coming away empty-handed in eight out of the opening 10 travels in England's second tier.

While heading to Norfolk with a renewed sense of confidence, the team led by Danny Rohl still grapples with a lack of creativity in front of the opponent's goal, having found the net only 13 times in 20 encounters—five fewer than Rotherham, ranked as the second-lowest Championship scorer (18G)—and experiencing blanks in five of their recent eight away trips.

Among other factors, the return to Carrow Road doesn't bode well for securing the Owls' third straight league victory, considering we have to rewind nine years to discover their last triumph on this turf. Despite reasons for optimism, we foresee a robust Norwich, backed by the home advantage, poised to halt Sheffield's surge with a narrow victory.
