Sheffield Wednesday Preview

Sheffield Wednesday Predicted Line-up: James Beadle; Marvin Johnson, Di'Shon Bernard, Dominic Iorfa, Liam Palmer; Barry Bannan, Shea Charles; Djeidi Gassama, Josh Windass, Yan Valery; Michael Smith

Sheffield Wednesday haven’t quite lived up to the expectations a lot of fans put on them at the start of the campaign. After 13 games they’re 18th with 15 points from a possible 39, four wins, three draws and six defeats.

They seem to be safe of relegation this season but are still only three points above that drop zone. They’ll need to find that spark plenty more times if they want to convince everyone they deserve to stay in this division.

When it comes to defending, Sheffield Wednesday don’t have the best record right now. They’ve conceded the 5th most xG in the league (19.3) and conceded 24 (the 3ird highest in the division). Their 1.8 goals conceded per match is also the third worst in the Championship.

Norwich City Preview

Norwich City Predicted Line-up: George Long; Callum Doyle, José Córdoba, Shane Duffy, Kellen Fisher; Emiliano Marcondes, Jacob Sørensen, Gabriel Forsyth; Borja Sainz, Ante Crnac, Oscar Schwartau

Norwich City are playing some sublime football under Johannes Hoff Throup stylistically this season, but the recent results have put a damper on things. They have just one win in their last six league games.

However, they’re still scoring plenty of goals with 12 goals scored over that six game period. The likes of Borja Sainz looks like the best player in the league right now, with the confidence and ability to score from anywhere.

This season, they average the highest goals per match in the league (1.8) and are third for expected goals so far (20.4). They’re second for big chances (36) and second for big chances missed (25). Norwich on paper are one of the best attacking sides in the entire league, they just need to turn those goals into more points at the moment.
