Norwich City will return to Carrow Road this week with the aim of getting back to winning ways in the Championship, following a challenging start to the season under David Wagner. Despite experiencing an improvement in results around the November international break, the team has earned 27 points from 20 matches in the second-tier English league. They have won eight matches, but also suffered nine defeats, including a difficult period between early October and November in which they lost five times and drew once. As a result, they have dropped out of the playoff positions.

However, Norwich managed to secure a 3-2 victory against Cardiff City in their most recent game before the break, and followed it up with a narrow 1-0 win against Queens Park Rangers at home. Their subsequent trip to Watford ended in a 3-2 defeat, but they were able to bounce back with a 2-1 victory against Bristol City in early December. The team's improved form continued with a goalless draw against Preston North End over the weekend. 

Although Norwich has won three of their last five matches in the Championship, their performances under Wagner have not been entirely convincing. With mounting pressure and only a three-point gap separating them from the playoff positions, the team is determined to bounce back on Wednesday and put together a stronger string of performances.

Norwich City Predicted Lineup

Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, McLean, Giannoulis; Sara, Gibbs; Fassnacht, Barnes, Rowe; Idah

Sheffield Wednesday form

Sheffield Wednesday, who have been on an upward trajectory, face a tough challenge against a resilient team. They recently climbed off the bottom of the league after a poor start to the season under Xisco Munoz and Danny Rohl. After only earning six points from their first 16 matches, they managed to secure a victory and have since shown signs of improvement. They held league leaders Leicester City to a draw, won against Blackburn Rovers, and secured another win against struggling Stoke City. With these positive results, Sheffield Wednesday have climbed to 23rd place with 13 points. Although they are still eight points away from safety, they have gained momentum and will look to continue their winning streak in their upcoming match to reduce the gap at the bottom of the league.

Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Lineup

Dawson; Palmer, Diaby, Bernard, Famewo; Byers, Vaulks, Bannan; Windass, Cadamarteri, Musaba

Norwich City vs Sheffield Wednesday Expert Tips

Although Norwich City can have confidence in their ability to defeat the 23rd-placed team at Carrow Road, they have been failing to gain momentum under Wagner's guidance this season. In contrast, the Owls come to Norfolk with an increased sense of belief and positivity. Considering their recent back-to-back victories, it would not be unexpected for Rohl's team to achieve an unexpected win on Wednesday, securing a third consecutive victory and narrowing the gap to safety. Expect under 2.5 goals in the game.
