Command Analysis
Norwich City
EnglandCurrent form
Norwich were in contention for a place in the playoff zone for promotion from the start of the season, but have noticeably slowed down over the distance and are now only in 13th place after 22 rounds. The gap from the top 6 is already nine points, which will be very difficult to make up, especially given the game that the team is currently demonstrating. The Canaries' winless streak has reached four matches, with three of them losing. In the previous round, Norwich lost 1:2 away to Sunderland.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cordoba and McLean will miss the meeting due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- Norwich have not lost in the first half in their last three matches
- The Canaries have exchanged goals in three of their previous five matches
Probable lineup: Gunn, Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Fisher, Slimane, Gibbs, Marcondes, Nunes, Krnas, Sainz.
Millwall
EnglandCurrent form
Millwall are still hoping to join the fight for the top 6, although it will not be easy. The London representative has 28 points in 21 matches, with which they are in tenth place. The gap from sixth-placed Middlesbrough is seven points. In the last round, Millwall broke an unpleasant series of three defeats in a row thanks to a home victory with a minimum score of 1:0 over Blackburn. It should be noted that the team does not play its best away matches - only one victory in the asset, while in five cases the results were tied.

Cooper and Scanlon are injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Millwall have not lost in the first half in three of their last five matches
- There have been no goals in four consecutive games involving Millwall

6.10Tip and bets
Due to the home field factor, bookmakers give the advantage to Norwich in the upcoming meeting, although the team is clearly in decline and has not won in four matches in a row. Millwall does not lose hope to join the fight for the top 6, every point is now worth its weight in gold. It is worth noting that the team has played nine away matches since the beginning of the season, in which it suffered only three defeats, and drew five times. We think that Millwall is quite capable of gaining at least one point today.
Our prediction is Millwall not to lose at 1.65
Bet on total
Millwall play a very closed football, relying on defense above all. In the last 14 matches involving visitors, more than two goals have not been scored, and it is unlikely that this series will be interrupted today in the confrontation with Norwich.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on the first half
Let note that in five of the seven previous personal meetings, a draw was recorded at the end of the first half. We expect that the teams will start the game cautiously and will not force events on the field and take unjustified risks.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.17
