Historically, Norwich is better than Millwall as the team from Carrow Road has won 21 of 43 H2H matches against Millwall. Also, Norwich won four of the previous six head-to-head games, while the Lions won two. Last season, both teams won the matches at their home stadiums.
Norwich team overview
Norwich was part of England's top 25-26 teams for a long time. So basically, they were not always part of the Premier League, but at least the team from Carrow Road was among the best in the Championship. The previous year was disappointing as the Canaries ended as a mid-table team. Norwich didn't impress in the preseason, either, as they won only two of seven matches.
Borja Sainz and Callum Doyle left Norwich this season, but the Canaries seem stronger as they added a lot of good players. Probably the biggest signing this summer is striker Mathias Kvistgaarden, who came from Brondby. Norwich also signed 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).

Millwall team overview
Last season was surprisingly good for Millwall, as they ended with only two points fewer than the promotion zone. Millwall had an excellent preseason with five wins from seven matches. In the previous test, Millwall won 3-0 against Estoril.
Zian Flemming, one of the best Millwall players from the last season, went to Burnley, but the club from Den seems to have a ready replacement in 20-year-old Mihailo Ivanovic. The young Serbian scored 12 Championship goals last season and should continue to grow in Millwall. The biggest additions this summer are Alfie Doughty (who came from Luton), Josh Coburn (Middlesbrough), and Steven Benda (Fulham).

Prediction
One of the most evident things during Norwich's preseason is how bad their attacking line was. Liam Manning's team scored only four goals in the last six games. On the other hand, Millwall allowed only three goals in the previous four matches. We should expect an intense and close battle on Saturday afternoon, but with no more than two goals. Our prediction: Under 2.5 goals
3 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than two goals in this match
- Norwich scored only four goals in the last six matches
- There were two or fewer goals in five of the previous six games
- Millwall allowed only three goals in the last four matches
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
