Explore Coral's detailed preview for Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City in the Championship. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:45 GMT match.

• Fixture: Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich City

• Date: Wednesday, 05 November 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Hillsborough Stadium

Sheffield Wednesday, despite a string of losses, may find some confidence from their recent draw against West Bromwich Albion. Their defensive resilience shown in that match could be crucial against a Norwich side struggling to score, as evidenced by their recent run of defeats. Sheffield Wednesday's attackers, particularly Jamal Lowe and Iké Ugbo, will need to be clinical if they are to break down Norwich's defence, which has been breached multiple times recently.

Norwich City are in dire need of a turnaround after a series of losses. Their inability to score consistently, as seen in their last five games, could be a significant concern against Sheffield Wednesday. However, Norwich's defence has shown vulnerability, which Sheffield Wednesday might exploit. The match could hinge on which team can capitalise on the other's defensive frailties.

Sheffield Wednesday's recent form has been poor, with four losses in their last five games, including a heavy defeat at home to Coventry City. The only positive result was a draw against West Bromwich Albion, which might offer some hope. This inconsistent performance could impact their confidence going into the match against Norwich City, but their ability to keep a clean sheet in their last away game suggests they might be able to frustrate Norwich's attack.

Recent Championship Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs West Bromwich Albion (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Oxford United (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Middlesbrough (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Charlton Athletic (A)
• Loss: 0-5 vs Coventry City (H)

Norwich City have been on a losing streak, failing to win any of their last five matches. Their inability to score, with only one goal in their last five games, is a major concern. This poor run of form could affect their morale and performance against Sheffield Wednesday. However, their recent games have shown that they can create chances, which they will need to convert if they are to turn their fortunes around.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 0-2 vs Hull City (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Swansea City (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Derby County (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Bristol City (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Ipswich Town (A)

The head-to-head record between Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City shows a competitive rivalry, with both teams winning two of the last five encounters and the other game ending in a draw.

The most recent match saw Sheffield Wednesday triumph 3-2 away at Norwich City, while their home form against Norwich has been mixed, with a win, a draw, and a loss in the last three home games. This suggests that Sheffield Wednesday might have a slight edge going into this match.
