Norwich vs Millwall Preview

Friday, August 19th, 20:00 (UK)

Norwich clicked into gear in the early stages against Huddersfield. The Canaries raced to a two-goal lead after 16 minutes, a much-needed double to ease any question marks arising over Dean Smith’s squad.

Defeats to Cardiff and Hull alongside a share of the spoils against a newly-promoted Wigan side map out Norwich’s other Championship excursions so far. For a side looking to bounce straight back up after finishing last in the Premier League, it’s a poor start.

Next on the agenda will see Carrow Road welcome Millwall on Friday night. Smith will hope this is where his squad kicks on and puts a string of wins together rather than stuttering what remains of August.

It won’t be easy pickings for Norwich. Not by any means. Millwall’s recent midweek escapade at 2-0 down bizarrely saw two injury-time own goals draw them level with Swansea. Those kinds of comebacks often feel like a win, demonstrating the desire and professionalism within a group. Before the trip to Wales, two solid wins versus Stoke and Coventry, either side of a defeat on the road to Sheffield United, completes this season’s activity in Millwall.

Although shipping six goals in the last three matches, Millwall are a resilient bunch. Last season, the Lions conceded 45 goals in 44 games – that was the best total in the division without the promoted three clubs.

It’s that resoluteness that encourages the first selection of the bet builder, alongside Norwich’s stats this season. I don’t expect the hosts to be out of sight early in the match again, with Norwich prompted to scrap for any openings in the final third. Considering the above, Norwich corners offers a way in.

Norwich have forced 7, 9, 11, and 8 corners in the first four fixtures. The lofty figures are attributed to Norwich looking for, and struggling to get, goals on the scoresheet. Let’s hope Millwall provides a stern test in that respect, and we should be okay with the 5+ corner line.

To take us to 2.30 and cap off the bet builder double, one of Norwich’s new boys must be on it from the get-go. Marcelino Núñez, Norwich’s Chilean import, is averaging 3.00 shots per90 from three Championship appearances. Playing on either the left or right of the midfield three in front of the forward line, Núñez undoubtedly has the tools to work his way into cult hero status at the club. The former Universidad Católica man oozes quality and has already caught the eye of Chile manager Eduardo Berizzo, who has capped Núñez on ten occasions.

Interestingly, in the brief 26-minute sub appearance in the EFL Cup, Núñez also hit two shots. In his short stay, the South American has already scored a head-turning free kick against Hull. The quality of said set piece will no doubt see him demand free kick duties, which is a big plus for any shots-backers.
