Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is Norwich's triumph. Due to the individual quality they present, it will be normal for the home club to dominate and enjoy the best opportunities to score goals. On the other hand, the visiting club come to this match motivated due to the recent results, however, they face an opponent with a much superior squad. Having said that, and agreeing with the favoritism of the home team, betting in favor of Norwich in this match is a good option.

Preview
Norwich City and Sheffield Wednesday face at Carrow Road, in a match for the 16th round of the Championship. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 19‑04‑2019, in a match for the Championship, they tied (2‑2). Although this is a match between 1st and 23th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 8th best in home matches and the 18th best in away matches.

Analysis Norwich

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 28 points won, after 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Coventry City, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Luton Town, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 16 points in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 9 conceded, against 12 points won at their stadium, with 7 goals scored and 5 conceded. In the last 7 home league matches Norwich City has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 5 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Norwich come to this round with a 3-1 defeat at Luton, registering in this way the second consecutive match without winning in this competition: the only goal of the team was signed by Emiliano Buendía. In this game against Sheffield Wednesday, manager Daniel Farke should privilege the maintenance of ball possession and the attacks by the aisles. It is possible that we observe the home team to prefer the right side aisle to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by winger Emiliano Buendía. Striker Teemu Pukki, the player who missed the last two games, is the team's top scorer, with 7 goals scored. The home coach should not be able to count on Sam Byram, Kieran Dowell, Onel Hernández, Kenny McLean, Jordan Hugill, Bali Mumba, Adam Idah, Tim Krul, Lukas Rupp, Todd Cantwell and Xavi Quintillà, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael McGovern, Ben Gibson, Przemyslaw Płacheta, Grant Hanley, Jacob Lungi Sorensen, Marco Stiepermann, Oliver Skipp, Emiliano Buendía, Max Aarons, Mario Vrančić, Teemu Pukki.
Coach: D. Smith.

Analysis Sheff Wed

The away team is currently in the 23th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Stoke City, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Reading, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 4 goals scored and 5 conceded at home, against 4 goals scored and 8 conceded in away matches. In the last 7 away league matches Sheffield Wednesday has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 9 matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sheffield Wednesday come to this round motivated after a 1-1 draw against reading, registering the third straight game without losing in this second English division: Callum Paterson scored the only goal of the team. Usually coach Tony Pulis plays in a 4-2-3-1 tactical formation, where his team's game organizer is midfielder Barry Bannan. On the other hand, Callum Paterson is one of Sheffield Wednesday's top scorers, with 2 goals scored. The visiting coach cannot count on Liam Shaw, suspended, as well as Chey Dunkley, Aden Flint and Jack Marriott, these with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Joe Wildsmith, Joost van Aken, Dominic Iorfa, Tom Lees, Callum Paterson, Julian Börner, Adam Reach, Moses Odubajo, Kadeem Harris, Barry Bannan, Josh Windass.
Coach: D. Moore.
