Norwich City vs Sheffield United Prediction: Both sides shared points in last game

Norwich City welcome Sheffield United to Carrow Road this weekend for Game Week 3 of the English Championship. Both sides shared points in their most recent game. But who will come out with all three points this time?

Norwich City will now return to Carrow Road this Saturday, after having banked their first win in the Championship season under the new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup. The Canaries were poor in the opening two weekends and will look to bounce back after two consecutive losses.

Following last season's sixth-place finish in the league and then defeat in the play-offs to Leeds United, it was left to David Wagner to rectify this. The team managed to lose 2-0 against Oxford United, but things improved as they recorded a 4-3 success against Stevenage in the EFL Cup. Their last game saw a 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers.

Norwich City have conceded seven in their three games, so Daniel Farke will have to put a much stronger defense if they are to finally win their first game this weekend at Carrow Road.

Their supporters will also be desperate to see them return to victory in Norwich this Saturday, after missing what could be considered a perfect start to the 2024-25 season last weekend. Sheffield United got relegated last season from the Premier League, only having netted 16 points and placing 20th on the table, and have begun life in the Championship under coach Chris Wilder looking to make up on their way back to the top flight. A two-point deduction at the start of it all did not throw off the Blades from bouncing back with consecutive victories over Preston North End and Wrexham respectively. The latest match ended in a draw with frustration prevailing after going 2-nil up, at home to Queens Park Rangers, only to have it drawn on 2-2. Sheffield United could surely allow no size of setback in that encounter and emerge winners once more on the road, collecting them five points to strongly assert in the Championship table.

Sheffield United have to find a way to bounce back from a poor 2-2 home draw this past weekend. Very much motivated to gain a win here, they are a strong side capable of performing to take off all three points from a team that is not quite tough. We expect over 2.5 goals in the game with both teams being on the scoresheet.
