• Time: 2:00 PM UTC

Match Analysis: Norwich City vs Millwall – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-08-09
• Time: 2:00 PM UTC
• Location: Carrow Road, Norwich

Game Overview

A competitive EFL Championship matchup where historically Norwich City has dominated Millwall in both results and goals scored. Norwich looks to maintain home advantage against a Millwall side that has shown mixed recent form.

• In the last 15 meetings, Norwich won 9, Millwall 3, and 3 drawn. Norwich averages 2.1 goals per game against Millwall’s 1.3. The teams have seen a relatively high goal average (~3.5 goals per game) historically, but recent seasons lean towards Norwich dominance, especially at home.
• No publicly reported major injuries impacting starting XI or key players for either team at this time.
• Home advantage at Carrow Road favors Norwich. Weather and pitch conditions expected normal for early August; no major disruptions expected.
• Both teams are motivated early in the season; Norwich aims to establish top-table credentials after recent Championship finishes, while Millwall looks for an upset to gain points away from home.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Norwich City to win on the moneyline with a small but clear advantage given home form, superior recent record against Millwall, and better goal-scoring stats.

Match Analysis: West Bromwich Albion vs Blackburn Rovers – Prediction

Match Details

• Time: 2:00 PM UTC
• Location: The Hawthorns, West Bromwich

Game Overview
