The situation at the top of the Championship table is getting increasingly interesting with the race for promotion heating up. Norwich will be looking to maintain their stronghold on first place when they host Sheffield Wednesday this Friday night.

PaddyPower Pre-Match Odds: Norwich 4/9, Draw 10/3, Sheffield Wednesday 11/2

 

Two straight draws for the league leaders means they are now just four points above second-placed Leeds United. 

 

The pressure is firmly on the Canaries to win against Sheffield Wednesday, re-build their advantage at the top of the table and continue their push for the Championship crown. 

 

Sheffield aren’t in great form and are unlikely to pose much threat to the league leaders. With that in mind, the recommendation is to back Norwich. 

 

Steve Bruce and his men have only managed one win in four games. Two defeats to Leeds and Aston Villa plus a goalless draw with Stoke, have left Wednesday six points away from a play-off position. 

 

The head to head records a mixed one with both teams winning two games in their last five encounters. One thing we know for sure is that this fixture does tend to produce a lot of goals. 

 

So while one recommendation is to back the home side, the other one is to back the over 2.5 goals market at 13/20. 

 

Recommendation
Norwich to win and both teams to score – 11/5 bet365
