Norwich City v Swansea City: play-off chase meets top-half push | OneFootball

Norwich City host Swansea City in the Championship at Carrow Road on Saturday, 25 April 2026, with both sides looking to climb from mid-table towards the season's final targets after sitting 9th and 11th respectively.

Recent meetings have been split. Swansea City won 2-1 in October 2025, while Norwich City hit five at home in January 2025, underlining how this fixture can swing either way.

Form points to a competitive game. The Canaries have three wins in five, including back to back victories over Bristol City and Derby County. Swansea City arrive with two wins in their last three away, at Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers, alongside draws with Middlesbrough and Sheffield United.

The Canaries list several injuries, including Jovon Makama, Ante Crnac, Mirko Topić and Ali Ahmed. Swansea City are without Ethan Galbraith, Ishé Samuels-Smith and Sam Parker.

In the match-up, Swansea City lean on the division's leading scorer Zan Vipotnik with 22 goals, and defender Josh Tymon's nine assists. Possession profiles are close, the visitors at 54% and the hosts at 53%, but the Canaries also deliver a high volume of open-play crosses, with 505 attempted at 17.82% accuracy, which could be a route to unsettle a defence that has conceded 57 league goals.

A home win would move the Canaries to 67 points and could pull them closer to the top six. Victory for Swansea City would take them to 63 points and strengthen their top half finish bid.
