Match Preview

Norwich City will host Sheffield Wednesday at Carrow Road on February 25, 2026, in the Championship.

Norwich City has been dominant at home, winning 67 percent of their last 6 matches played on their home turf.

In contrast, Sheffield Wednesday has struggled, experiencing losses in 73 percent of their Championship matches this season.

With the statistical data indicating a potential high-scoring affair, the prediction points towards over 2.5 goals being scored in this matchup.

Norwich got off to a miserable start against Birmingham at the weekend, conceding twice inside the opening 15 minutes in a 2-1 home defeat. Still, the Canaries have won five of their last seven league fixtures and remain well clear of the relegation zone.

Sheffield Wednesday's relegation was confirmed on Sunday afternoon when they were beaten 2-1 on the road by arch-rivals Sheffield United in the Steel City derby. The Owls have now suffered 10 consecutive Championship defeats heading into gameweek 34.
