Millwall are set to play host to Norwich City at the Den on Tuesday for their latest EFL Championship fixture.
Millwall come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Mick McCarthy's Cardiff City yesterday at the Cardiff City Stadium. An own goal from centre-back Aden Flint put Millwall ahead in the first-half, but Wales international Kieffer Moore managed to equalize for Cardiff City in the second-half.
Norwich City, on the other hand, drew 0-0 against Neil Warnock's Middlesbrough yesterday at Carrow Road. The Canaries had no shots on target and had star midfielder Emiliano Buendia sent off in the second-half to add to their misery.
Millwall vs Norwich City Head-to-Head

Millwall vs Norwich City Prediction
Millwall are 16th in the league table, and have won only one of their last five league games. Forward Jed Wallace has been a crucial player for them, while the likes of Kenneth Zohore and Iceland international Jon Daoi Bodvarsson could prove to be key as well.
Norwich City, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table. Emiliano Buendia has been an important player, and the 24-year old has arguably been the best player in the Championship this season. In his absence, the onus will fall on attackers like Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell.
The Canaries should be able to emerge victorious.
Prediction: Millwall 0-2 Norwich City
