Sheffield Wednesday face Norwich City in a massive showdown at the foot of the 2025-26 Sky Bet Championship table.
Victory would see Sheffield Wednesday move to within ten points of the second-bottom Canaries, whilst Norwich can move up to third-bottom with a win.

Stat Attack
- Sheffield Wednesday have won just two of their last eight meetings against Norwich (W2, D2, L4).
- Norwich have lost seven of their last 12 visits to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough (W2, D3, L7).
- Sheffield Wednesday have kept just one clean sheet in their last six home games against Norwich.
- The Owls are winless in their last seven league matches (D3, L4).
- Norwich have claimed just two points in their last five away games (D2, L3).
Prediction
Having claimed a solid clean sheet at West Brom on Saturday through some resilient defensive work, Sheffield Wednesday now need to bring more of the same quality and add some end product as a win here could give them a small but positive hope of pulling off an escape.
Norwich meanwhile just seem to be in utter defensive freefall with just two points and no clean sheets in their last nine games, although they did well to keep Hull quiet in the first half at home before their weak confidence was again exposed but this is a chance to get a win to build some renewed belief.
I however do expect this to be a tough scrap as Sheffield Wednesday do seem to have found some belief now that the off-pitch fiasco has settled, and if they find a final touch then I can see them nicking this in what is really a must-win match for both teams.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Norwich
Result: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Norwich
