Match preview
Under Alex Neil, Millwall are enjoying a phenomenal run. Last Friday, the Lions snatched a win against Middlesbrough (2-1) thanks to a brace from Josh Coburn, lifting them to second place in the table. Millwall are currently one of the most balanced sides in the league: a rock-solid defense (just 45 goals conceded) is paired with a potent attack, with Coburn and Femi Azeez both on fire. At home, the Lions are notoriously tough to beat, and the support of The Den faithful will be their twelfth man in this crucial fixture.
Norwich sit 11th and have found a new lease on life under Philippe Clement. Despite being plagued by injuries this season, the Canaries still have a shot at fighting for a Premier League playoff spot. The visitors' main hope is young Jovan Makama, who leads the team with 10 goals. However, Norwich will find it extremely difficult to cope with Millwall’s physicality, especially given their absences in defense and midfield.
Tactically, expect Millwall to apply pressure from the first whistle. Alex Neil will rely on athleticism and set-piece control. Norwich are likely to opt for a cautious approach, aiming to block off the central areas and hoping to hit on the break through their quick wingers.
Probable lineups
Millwall: Patterson — Leonard, Cooper, Crama, Sturge — Mitchell, De Norre, Bannan — Azeez, Coburn, Ivanovic
Norwich: Kovacevic — Stacey, Duffy, Darling, Amass — McLean, Slimane, Maghoma — Crnac, Makama, Jurasek
