Norwich City form and stats

Only two Championship home games for Norwich City so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Norwich City's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Huddersfield Town (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result. At last, a league victory after four fixtures without one. The attacking player Sinani was declared "man of the match" for Norwich with a rating of 8.42/10. Sinani scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 48 successful passes (of 56 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Hull City.

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 City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Norwich City as they have a new game in only four days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. AFC Bournemouth are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Norwich City at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Millwall form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Championship for Millwall with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Millwall has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Swansea City for a 2-2 draw. Goalkeeper Białkowski made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Swansea City. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Wallace was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.31. The defender Wallace hit three key passes and won 11 of 13 duels.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Coventry City.

We have checked recent matches where Millwall have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Millwall have the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
