Bitesize Prediction: Norwich vs Millwall – 20/08/23

Competition: Championship

Market: Norwich win

Odds: 11/10 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their early season purple patch on Sunday lunchtime, Norwich will welcome Millwall to Carrow Road.

Starting with the hosts, while Norwich might have come under a huge amount of scrutiny last season as they had to settle for a nightmare bottom-half finish, David Wagner’s men have come roaring back this time around. Opening the 2023/24 campaign with a lively 2-1 victory against Hull in East Anglia, the one-time Huddersfield boss finds his squad tipped as a leading play-off contender this season. Last seen earlier in the week extending on their EFL Cup adventure thanks to a last-gasp 1-0 win away at QPR, the Yellows will be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Signing off their pre-season preparations with a 2-0 victory against Greek giants Olympiacos, Norwich have continued to shine on either side of the summer interval. Holding a rampant record against Sunday’s guests, Wagner’s side should be fancying their chances of laying down another promotion marker at Carrow Road.

As for the visitors, while Millwall might have also opened the 2023/24 campaign with their sights set on mounting another play-off charge, Gary Rowett’s men have struggled to find any kind of stability. Despite clinching an eye-catching 1-0 victory against Middlesbrough on the opening weekend, the Lions have certainly come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Crashing out of the EFL Cup earlier in the month following a woeful 4-0 drumming at home against League One outfit Reading, Sunday’s guests were also last seen putting in another downbeat performance in south London. Eventually getting hit with a toothless 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bristol City, Rowett’s side face a real challenge this weekend. Remarkably failing to win any of their last 13 straight trips to Carrow Road, we are expecting a home victory in East Anglia.
