Can the in-form Sheffield Wednesday stop Norwich City in the promotion zone?
Sheffield Wednesday will host Norwich City at Hillsborough.
Can Sheffield Wednesday escape the relegation zone?
Sheffield Wednesday, who were promoted to the Championship last season, have been deep in the relegation zone this season, but have recently picked up some form and revived their relegation hopes with a win over 17th-placed Queens Park Rangers last weekend. At present, they are only 1 point away from the safety zone, and there is still a big suspense of relegation.
With manager Rolle in charge, Sheffield Wednesday have enjoyed a good run of results, picking up 31 points from 18 games. However, they have suffered another slump recently, with successive draws against Swansea City and defeat at Middlesbrough after defeats to Leicester City and Ipswich Town.
Thankfully, last weekend's win over Queens Park Rangers made their relegation situation more optimistic. Sheffield Wednesday will have to go all out to win this game and try to get the crucial three points.
Can Norwich City book a promotion play-off spot?
Norwich City, who had a poor start to the season, have been in great form since 2024, with 32 points from their last 15 games, and are currently sixth in the table, four points ahead of Coventry City behind them, and occupy a strong position in the promotion play-offs.
However, Norwich City's away record has not been great, winning just five of their 20 away games and losing 10 of them. They also lost 3-1 at Leicester City last time out.
Last weekend, Norwich City extended their 15-year unbeaten run against them with a win over Ipswich Town in the Eastern Derby. In this game, they will be aiming for an away win to further cement their place in the promotion zone.
We expect Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Norwich City
Sheffield Wednesday's form has picked up, but the overall quality is still not as good as Norwich City. Coupled with a poor away record, it will be difficult for Norwich City to win, and we expect a close draw between the two sides.
