Alex Neil's Millwall made a positive start to the Championship season but Norwich won on their last visit to The Den and are likely to cause problems

Millwall and Norwich had mixed fortunes on the opening weekend of the Championship season.

While Alex Neil's play-off semi-finalists Millwall were winning 2-0 at Bristol City, one of his former clubs Norwich were losing 2-1 against West Brom at Carrow Road.

The Canaries though will have fond memories of their last trip to The Den in April which ended in a 2-1 win.

Team news

Millwall's sought-after midfielder Femi Azeez tweaked a hamstring at Ashton Gate and is expected to miss out.

New £5m midfielder Mathis Servais, Serb striker Mihailo Ivanovic and star defender Tristan Crama are still a while away.

Striker Jovon Makama, Norwich's 10-goal top scorer last season, is unlikely to be fit while newly-signed left-back from Rennes, Darlin Yongwa, could be involved.

Canadian midfielder Ali Ahmed is out for a while with an ACL injury picked up in pre-season.

The stats

Millwall have lost only four of their last 22 matches — all four defeats, however, came at The Den.

Both teams have scored in eight of Norwich's last nine matches including both games this season, the 4-1 win over MK Dons and the 2-1 loss to West Brom.

Millwall have won 80 corners in their last 11 home games at an average of 7.3 corners per game; In Norwich's two games this season there have been 21 corners, City winning 15 of them.

Norwich have drawn only two games since Christmas.

Prediction

Millwall surprised a few making the play-offs last season and are off to a flier again.

Norwich, who recovered from a terrible start last season to at least get close to the top six, are not.

The Lions won their opener 2-0 at Bristol City and won it well.

Norwich played some good stuff against West Brom and would have been worthy winners. Such is football, however, they ended up losing 2-1.

As it stands both these clubs are 6/1 for promotion to the Premier League which suggests the long-term view is there might not be much between them. If the short-term view is the same then it is 11/5 the draw at The Den this weekend.

And in all honesty this does not look an easy game to call, so why not consider a Bet Builder to cover a few different options.

For example, Millwall keeper Lukas Jensen did not have a save to make against Bristol City last week, partly because the Robins were down to 10 men after half an hour, partly because the hosts were not very good.

Norwich, in turn, fired off 20 shots against West Brom, connecting with seven, and they look bright going forward.

Take the Millwall keeper to make over 2.5 saves followed by Josh Coburn to have over 0.5 shots on target. He had three at Ashton Gate, the only three of the game and the Lions' record signing does look a handful.

Finally, you cannot argue with the fact that these two teams seem to win a hatful of corners so combine the two to go over the 11.5 mark.

Score Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Norwich

Back Over 2.5 Millwall Keeper Saves, Over 0.5 J Coburn Shots on Target, Over 11.5 Corners @ 4.6/1 with LiveScore Bet.
