*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Sheffield Wednesday vs Norwich odds suggest that Norwich are favourites for this match, which aligns with our prediction of an away win at Hillsborough on Tuesday night.
Despite being favourites, they are still priced greater than evens which reflects fantastic value when you consider the form and league positions of the two teams.
Norwich are currently in their best form of the season (six wins from their last eight) and don't look as if the pressure of holding down sixth position in the Championship is going to weigh them down.
Their win over Ipswich at the weekend was particularly impressive and we believe they have too much strength at their disposal to struggle against Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday do come into this one with a bit of momentum after their 2-0 win over QPR on Saturday which should mean Hillsborough is packed to the rafters on Tuesday night.
A win would likely see them move out of the relegation zone for the first time this season. Wednesday's Ike Ugbo is 2/1 (3.00) to score anytime in the match.
Norwich have been dominant in this fixture in recent times, which is hardly a surprise considering they have consistently been one of the best Championship teams of the last decade. They have won four of their last five matches against Sheffield Wednesday, with the fifth ending in a draw.

Sheffield Wednesday preview: Out for revenge after last season
The temptation for manager Danny Rohl will surely be to play the same XI that played against QPR at the weekend. However, that possibility is complicated by Ian Poveda's availability after the winger was forced off in the first half.
The Owls will welcome Josh Windass and Callum Paterson back into the squad after recent layoffs.
Predicted lineup: Beadle (GK), Iorfa, Diaby, Ihiekwe, Famewo, Vaulks, Bannan, Gassama, Musaba, Windass, Ugbo

Norwich preview: Out for revenge after last season
The same temptation will be there for Norwich boss David Wagner, who was understandably delighted with his team's performance against Ipswich on Saturday. Absentees for the Canaries include Jonathan Rowe, Onel Hernandez, Grant Hanley and Jacob Sorensen.
Predicted lineup: Gunn (GK), Stacey, Duffy, Gibson, McCallum, Nunez, Sara, McLean, Barnes, Sainz, Sargent

Player to watch: Djeidi Gassama
Djeidi Gassama has been in and out of the starting XIall season for Sheffield Wednesday but there is no doubt he has the talent to play at this level. Gassama's consistency is the only real issue but after impressing last time out, his confidence should be up.
Building on his match-winning performance against QPR
The ex-PSG man was electric against QPR and the Owls would not have won without him. Gassama scored the opener before turning provider for Musaba late on.
