Norwich vs Millwall Prediction, Lineups & Betting Tips | 09 Aug 2025
One of the most exciting leagues in the world, the English Championship, starts next weekend, and in one of the most interesting matches of the first round, Norwich and Millwall meet. The home team from Carrow Road Stadium, which played in the Premier League a few years ago, are looking to get back on track this season, while Millwall aims to repeat their successful campaign from last year. Can Norwich open the season with a win? One of the most interesting, uncertain, and longest leagues in the world (by number of matches - 46) returns, and the duel between Norwich and Millwall is certainly one of the biggest derbies in this league.

The team from Carrow Road have been part of the top 25-26 teams in England for years, regularly oscillating between the Premier League and the Championship. Last season was disappointing as they finished in mid-table. Preparations this summer are also not encouraging - they achieved only two wins in seven games. Norwich sold Borja Sainz and Callum Doyle, but the team is visibly strengthened. The most notable addition is striker Mathias Kvistgaarden from Brondby. Papa Amadou Diallo (Metz), Mirko Topic (Famalicao), Jacob Wright (Manchester City U21), Vladan Kovacevic (Sporting CP), Jakov Medic (Ajax), Harry Darling (Swansea), and Jeffrey Schlupp (Crystal Palace) have also arrived.

Millwall
Millwall were within touching distance of the Premier League promotion zone last season, finishing just two points off the play-off places. The pre-season has been extremely successful, with five wins from seven games, including a convincing 3-0 win over Estoril. Zian Flemming has left for Burnley, but Mihailo Ivanovic, who scored 12 goals in the Championship last season, is showing he could be a worthy replacement. The most notable signings are Alfie Doughty (Luton), Josh Coburn (Middlesbrough), and Steven Benda (Fulham).

Norwich vs Millwall Prediction, Lineups & Betting Tips | 09 Aug 2025
Norwich have scored just four goals in their last six pre-season games, which clearly points to problems in attack under Liam Manning. On the other hand, Millwall have conceded just three goals in their previous four matches. Everything points to a tough duel with few chances and few goals. However, I believe that in this match each team will score at least one goal, and since it's difficult to guess the form of the teams I think the match will end in a draw.
