Sheffield Wednesday

LLLLLL 0

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Sheffield United in Championship competition, Sheffield Wednesday and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Sheffield Wednesday had 41% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Sheffield Wednesday was Charlie McNeill (52'). Sheffield United had 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. Patrick Bamford (2') and Harrison Burrows (19') scored for Sheffield United.

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring Sheffield Wednesday has become fairly consistent in recent matches. Checking on their last six games shows that this has happened 5 times. During those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 12 and Sheffield Wednesday have scored 1. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

Coming into this contest, Sheffield Wednesday have not won away from home in their last 13 league matches. What a horror away run it has been.

📰 Team News: Norwich City

Ante Crnac (Cruciate ligament tear), Mirko Topić (Cruciate ligament tear), Amankwah Forson (unknown injury) and Matěj Jurásek (Foot injury) are not available for Norwich City manager Philippe Clement.

We think that The Canaries look set to opt for a 4-3-3 formation for the game and select Vladan Kovacevic, Kellen Fisher, Ruairi McConville, José Córdoba, Ben Chrisene, Sam Field, Anis Ben Slimane, Kenny McLean, Liam Gibbs, Mohamed Toure and Ali Ahmed.

📋 Team News: Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen has not got a full squad to pick from. Murphy Cooper (Groin injury) and Guilherme Siqueira (Achilles tendon surgery) will miss out on this game.

We are inclined to think that The Owls seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Seny Dieng, Liam Palmer, Cole McGhee, Liam Cooper, Omotayo Adaramola, Jaden Heskey, Svante Ingelsson, Charlie McNeill, Joel Ndala, Jamal Lowe and Jerry Yates.

🧠 Prediction

It’s pretty clear that Sheffield Wednesday may well find it hard to find the net against a Norwich City lineup who will likely get the goals that they need to set up a big win here.

We predict a convincing 3-0 margin for Norwich City when all is said and done.
