Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Carrow Road will host the clash between the home side, whose matches average 3.2 goals, and visitors from London, who collectively barely squeeze out 1.85 goals per game. So, will it be a low-scoring affair or high?
Norwich City
In their last two encounters against league leaders, Norwich City saw the total over. Both times, this was not due to pride in their own attacking prowess. Norwich lost at home to Burnley, and then away at Sunderland, both with a scoreline of 1:2. There are times when they fail to score, even against less formidable teams like Queens Park Rangers (0:3) and Portsmouth (0:0).
Millwall
Millwall boast a very solid defence. It's quite a feat to get even one past them. Blackburn Rovers, seemingly sharp in attack, struggled against them in the last fixture and couldn't break through, while Millwall snatched a late winner. Even an attacking powerhouse like Middlesbrough (38 goals) could only manage one goal against them (1:0). However, it often takes just a single goal to defeat the Londoners. They have constantly achieved a total under 2.5: 14 consecutive matches.
Norwich City vs Millwall Prediction
Therefore, despite Norwich City's relatively strong attack, don't expect a goal fest here. Millwall's defence is rock-solid, so nothing but a total under should be anticipated.
