Explore Ladbrokes' 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 are coming off a tough run, but they've shown they can hold their own against strong teams like West Brom. They'll need to be more clinical in front of goal after a string of losses. Norwich City, on the other hand, have been struggling to find the net themselves, losing their last five matches. This could be a tight, low-scoring affair with both teams looking to break their losing streaks.

The Owls might just have the edge at home, especially if they can capitalise on Norwich's defensive frailties. Bannan will be key in midfield, pulling the strings and creating chances. Norwich will need Schlupp to step up and provide some creativity if they're to get anything from this game. Expect a hard-fought battle with Sheffield Wednesday just edging it.

Sheffield Wednesday have had a rough patch, losing four out of their last five games. The only bright spot was a draw against West Brom, showing they can compete with top teams. Their biggest issue has been scoring goals, managing just one in their last five matches. If they can sort out their finishing, they might just turn their form around starting with this game.

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 are in a similar boat, having lost all of their last five games. They've struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just two goals in that run. Defensively, they've been leaky, conceding nine goals. They'll need to tighten up at the back and be more clinical in attack if they're to get a result against Sheffield Wednesday.

Recent Championship Results:

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