Our prediction for this Championship match:
Carrow Road will host a Boxing Day clash between Norwich City and Millwall, the two mid-table sides. The Canaries aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Panama defender Jose Cordoba serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in a 2-1 loss to Sunderland, while both Gabriel Forsyth and Joshua Sargent are out of contention with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Blackburn which saw them end a three-game losing run. Millwall and Norwich, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils at Carrow Road. Summer signing Mihailo Ivanovic is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner as a substitute against Blackburn, while all Wharton, Sigurdsson, and Gilsenan continue to miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
