Norwich City and Millwall are both riding high in the Championship with their 4th and 7th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
It's no vacation for neither Norwich City nor Millwall as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Norwich City form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Norwich City at their home stadium (Carrow Road) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Norwich after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Happy days for Norwich in their previous game, a Championship match away at Bristol City (placed 10th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Before that, Norwich played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Brentford.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Norwich have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Norwich, as the Championship home game vs Swansea City is only four days away.
Norwich has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Norwich City's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Millwall form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Millwall have produced an overall stat of 3-0-1 so far. Millwall has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Millwall might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Huddersfield Town proved too strong as Millwall slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at The Den. Preceding that game was the away victory against Preston North End with the score of 2-0.
Millwall are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and two defeats. From a total of ten matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Millwall manager G. Rowett as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sheffield Wednesday.
The travelling fans enjoy Millwall's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Norwich, one draw and two wins for Millwall. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Norwich City missing players
