- Competition: Championship
- Date: Tuesday, 8th April 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Carrow Road (Norwich)
Norwich are unlikely to return to the Premier League. With only six rounds left, the team from Carrow Road is eight points behind the playoff zone, and it would be a miracle to find themself in the fight for promotion. Norwich are struggling lately, with only one win in the last six matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-1 on the road against Plymouth. The guests had ball possession on their side, but Plymouth's xG was significantly higher (1.78 to Norwich's 0.71), so it is not a wonder that Johannes Thorup's team suffered another defeat.
Sunderland will have the chance to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2017. They are in the promotion playoff, and we should expect Regis Le Bris' team to be rested and ready for the crucial matches. Sunderland have been in solid form lately, with only one defeat in the last six games. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against West Brom. The home side was significantly better, but Sunderland still found a way to get all three points.
Norwich vs Sunderland pick: Both teams to score - yes
Norwich scored at least one goal in each of the last eight matches. On the other hand, Sunderland scored in five of the previous six games. We should see goals on both sides on Tuesday night at Carrow Road.

Sunderland team news
Sunderland have even bigger injury problems. They will be without Abdul Samed Ajibola Alese, Daniel Ballard, Daniel Cirkin, Jayden Danns, Niall Huggins, Ian Poveda, and Jenson Seelt on Tuesday in Norwich. Also, Romaine Mundle is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
