Norwich vs Millwall prediction: A goalfest to kick things off

Key Stats

• Three of Norwich's last four Championship matches have produced four goals or more.
• Three of the last five matches between Norwich and Millwall have produced four goals or more.
• Norwich have won four of their last six matches against Millwall.

Correct score prediction: Norwich 3-1 Millwall

Both these teams ended last season scoring goals at one end and leaking goals at the other, and there hasn't been enough evidence during pre-season to suggest that much has changed at either club. A high-scoring win for Norwich is on the cards, and the sell-out crowd at Carrow Road will play their part.

• DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
• AWAY: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%

Norwich preview: Sargent is still leading the line

There has been plenty of speculation around the future of Josh Sargent this summer, and two weeks ago, the American refused to join Wolfsburg despite the two clubs agreeing on a deal. As a result, Sargent will start up front for Norwich at the weekend, and they are a better team for it. Two men who won't play for Norwich are Kenny McLean and Lucien Mahovo, with both men nursing injuries.

Predicted lineup: Kovacevic (GK), Stacey, Darling, Medic, Chrisene, Nunez, Wright, Crnac, Forson, Diallo, Sargent

Millwall preview: Record signing to make his second debut

Millwall spent a club-record fee to make Josh Coburn's loan spell at the club permanent, which means there is extra expectation on the 22-year-old's shoulders this season. On the injury front, Millwall could be without as many as five players, with Danny McNamara, Lukas Jenen, Zak Lovelace, Joe Bryan and Kevin Nisbet all set to miss the match.

Predicted lineup: Benda (GK), Crama, Tanganga, Cooper, Doughty, Neghli, Mitchell, De Norre, Azeez, Coburn, Ivanovic

Player to watch: Josh Sargent

As mentioned, Sargent is part of the Norwich squad for this one and the American is clearly keen to stay at Carrow Road. He has been considered one of the best Championship strikers in recent seasons, and last season, he scored 15 goals in 32 league matches. If he does end up staying, then Norwich's chances of going up are much higher than they would be without him.
