Norwich vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Despite the fourth round of the FA Cup, we can still see some matches from the Championship on Saturday afternoon. The most interesting game will take place between Norwich City and Sheffield United. Both teams are in the race for direct promotion and so there is a lot at stake on Carrow Road.
Norwich City:
Although Norwich City has missed points several times in recent weeks, the team from East England still holds the second position of the Championship. In fact, the gap at leader Leeds United has been reduced to a point. The top match against The Whites is scheduled for next week, so Norwich has a chance to take over the lead.
Before that happens, it will therefore first be played against Sheffield United. Earlier this season The Canaries seemed to leave with a draw from Sheffield. A late goal by The Blades, however, left Norwich empty-handed. Since that defeat in September, the team of Daniel Farke only lost three times in the Championship. Only Derby City, Stoke City and Leeds United dominated The Canaries.
After five games without victory (including the elimination in the FA Cup by Portsmouth), Norwich City finally managed to win again last weekend. Against Birmingham City, the 3-1 final score had been achieved within half an hour and from that moment on Norwich could play football in the direction of the final signal. One of the most notable players against Birmingham was the German Tom Trybull. The former player of ADO Den Haag missed a considerable part of this season due to an injury, but was allowed to start against Birmingham and also took the third goal.
Sheffield United:
On visiting Swansea City, Sheffield United has seen the victory series ended. After winning four times in a row in the Championship, The Swans were 1-0 too strong for the Chris Wilder team. This turned out to be an acid defeat, because with a win the second place of Norwich City would have been taken over. Certainly in the first half, The Blades were the better of the two, but it was still the home team who ran away with the win.
Wilder said after the game: “I thought we were unparalleled in the first half and especially the way we managed to control the game against a group of very talented players. However, we had to finish it and reach peace at least 2-0. “However, strikers Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick did not manage to pass Swansea goalkeeper Erwin Mulder and so The Blades had to recognize their multiple in the team. from Wales.
Fifteen minutes before the end, Gary Madine made his first minutes for Sheffield United. The English striker is hired from Cardiff City until the end of the season and has to compete with Sharp, McGoldrick and Leon Clarke. The 28-year-old Madine came into action in the Premier League for only 32 minutes this season and therefore decided to take his chance on the second level of England.
