Millwall form

Last season, Millwall finished in eighth place in the Championship, narrowly missing out on the playoffs by a single point. However, the current 2023-24 campaign has been challenging for the club, as they are currently in 20th position in the league standings. Out of their 24 matches played, Millwall has managed six wins, eight draws, and ten defeats, resulting in a total of 26 points. They are only six points ahead of the relegation zone.

On Boxing Day, Joe Edwards's team secured a crucial victory by defeating QPR 2-0 at home, extending their unbeaten streak to three matches in the Championship. As they approach their final game of the year 2023, Millwall is determined to give their fans something to celebrate. However, it is worth noting that they have faced difficulties against Norwich, losing their last three encounters with them. In fact, their last victory over Norwich in the second tier dates back to August 2017, highlighting the magnitude of the challenge they face in this upcoming game.

Furthermore, Millwall has struggled on their own turf this season, only acquiring 12 points from 12 home matches. This record stands as the third-worst in the division.

Millwall Predicted Lineup

Sarkic; Leonard, Harding, Cooper, Bryan; Norton-Cuffy, Honeyman, Saville, Emakhu; Watmore, Bradshaw

Norwich City form

Norwich will go into this match after their 1-0 defeat to West Brom on Boxing Day, where Brandon Thomas-Asante's goal made the difference between the two teams. This loss ended Norwich's streak of five games without a defeat in the Championship, during which they secured victories against Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Huddersfield Town to climb up the table. They are currently in 12th place, just two points away from the playoff positions. Their aim is to get back to winning ways in this match before their first game of 2024, which will be against Southampton at home. Although Norwich has struggled to find consistency in away matches this season, only gathering 12 points from 12 matches with three wins, they can take confidence from Millwall's poor home form going into this contest. After being relegated from the Premier League in the 2021-22 season and finishing 13th in the Championship last season, the fans will be hopeful that Norwich can challenge for a playoff spot this season.
