Millwall vs Norwich prediction
Millwall head into their first home match of the season in very confident mood following their convincing 2-0 victory at Bristol City last weekend in the season opener, which leaves them in the top two of the Championship table.
The victory in the West Country also followed a win in a London derby against QPR in the first round of the Carabao Cup, leaving Alex Neil’s win chasing three wins out of three this weekend to kick off the new season in their hunt for promotion following their run to the play-offs last time out.
For Norwich, optimism was very high heading into the new season following their fantastic record in the second half of last season that dragged away from relegation trouble and comfortably into the top half of the table.
The Canaries were looking to pick up where they left off last season but fell to a surprise home defeat against West Brom in their opening game of the league campaign last weekend, so will be looking to pick up their first points of the season in the capital on Saturday.
Confidence will be high in Millwall camp with Norwich perhaps nervy with not wedding
Millwall vs Norwich tips
Lions purr at the Den
Millwall finished third in the Championship last season and will be disappointed not to have at least progressed beyond the semi finals of the play-offs last season. They’ll consider themselves as having unfinished business after coming so close to promotion last term.
After back to back wins to kickstart the new season, the Lions will be purring with a perfect start to the new campaign, and raring to go in front of their home fans for the first time this season, wanting to put down a real statement with victory against another side expected to be gunning for promotion come spring.
Norwich will no doubt be eager for their first points of the campaign though following a disappointing defeat last time out, and will no doubt be up for the fight and cause their hosts problems in Saturday’s evening kick off.

Coburn continues scoring spree
Josh Coburn was one of just two players to reach double figures for goals last season for Alex Neil’s men, and is already 20% of the way there for this season following his match winning brace against Bristol City last weekend.
The 21-year-old striker has won three of the four games he’s played against Norwich and will be eager to add more goals to his tally in front of his home fans on Saturday.

Fisher could get hooked into tough battle
Norwich right back Kellen Fisher was on the receiving end of at least three yellow cards more than any other player on either team last season when had his name taken on 13 occasions.
The Canary could be in for a difficult afternoon on Saturday as he comes up against a Millwall side known for their aggression, with two new tricky wingers to manoeuvre against.
