Head-to-head statistics Millwall - Norwich
Millwall Team Overview
Millwall have made a perfect start to their competitive season. In the first round of the League Cup, they came through a tough London derby away at QPR, winning on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Then in the Championship opener, Alex Neil's side were pragmatic and composed in a 2-0 win at Bristol City, with striker Josh Coburn scoring in each half to give the club their first three points of the season.
The Scottish manager continues to build a hard-nosed, combative side in south London. The team press high aggressively, maintain a solid defensive structure and look to transition quickly into counter-attacks through the flanks. Their performances so far have made clear they have serious ambitions for this season.

Norwich City Team Overview
Norwich head into the Championship season as one of the more fancied dark horses for promotion. They had a solid pre-season and made notable additions to the squad with a return to the Premier League in mind. The Canaries came through their League Cup tie against MK Dons (4-1) but suffered a frustrating opening-day defeat to West Brom (1-2). That result pointed to attacking potential alongside some defensive vulnerabilities.
On Saturday, 22 August, Norwich face a tough away trip to Millwall at The Den. Against West Brom, they played in a more fluid, attack-minded style but ran into stiff resistance. The manager will need to find the right answers quickly if they are to get their first points on the board.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The opening results highlight the contrasting approaches of these two sides: Millwall build on defensive solidity and clinical use of chances, while Norwich rely on an aggressive attacking game even at the cost of defensive exposure. The corner trend, though, is what shapes the outlook for this match most clearly. Total corners went over 10.5 in seven of Millwall's last eight Championship matches; Millwall delivered over 5.5 corners in 10 of their last 11 home games; Norwich have taken over 4.5 corners in 12 of their last 13 Championship matches. Those numbers are hard to ignore when analysing this fixture, particularly now that both sides are pushing hard for their respective goals from the very first weeks of the season. The bet is Total Corners - Over 10.5. Correct score prediction: 2-1.
