- Venue: The Den (London)
In a bid to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, Millwall will host a Norwich City side with little to play for at The Den on Monday in matchday 44 of the English Championship.
Millwall's prospects of sneaking into the top six took a painful hit after suffering a 1-4 demolition at the hands of Blackburn Rovers, which saw their gap to sixth-placed Coventry widen to a hard-to-reach six points with three rounds to go.
On their part, Norwich City were part of an incredible midweek clash, but sadly, they were defeated in an eight-goal thriller by relegation-threatened Portsmouth, leaving them in 13th place with 53 points, safe from relegation but not strong enough to be involved in the playoff race.
Millwall vs Norwich City Betting Tips : MILLWALL TO WIN
After stringing together three straight league wins, the Lions appeared to be on the right path to securing a playoff spot, but their 1-4 defeat to Blackburn in their most recent match set them back significantly, and now they’ll need something extraordinary to make it into the top six. With a six-point gap to sixth-placed Coventry and just three games remaining in the league phase, it's clear that Millwall have no choice but to win on matchday 44 if they want to stay in the playoff hunt, and they could take strength from having outplayed every team that has visited The Den in their last three appearances. The next victim at The Den could be Norwich City, a side that seems to have already gone on vacation with their survival secured and not strong enough to compete for a playoff spot, having been on a downward spiral lately, taking just one point from 12 available in their last four second-tier matches. The Canaries haven’t had much luck on the road this season, as they’ve returned empty-handed in 11 out of 21 visits, including three consecutive losses by a 2-1 scoreline, and we believe they could easily fall to the same scoreline once more, as Millwall simply must win this must-win game or risk ending their playoff hopes.

Millwall team news
First-choice goalkeeper Lukas Jensen missed his team’s 4-1 loss to Blackburn Rovers midweek at Ewood Park due to injury, and with backup keeper Liam Roberts also unavailable, 19-year-old George Evans stepped in between the posts.
The 31-year-old left-back Joe Bryan has been struggling with a groin issue, which kept him out of Friday’s game, but there’s a chance he could make his return for the crucial match against Norwich City.

Norwich City team news
Norwich City, on the other hand, may travel to The Den without their top scorer, Josh Sargent, who picked up an injury early in the second half against Portsmouth and was forced to leave the pitch.
As their season winds down without playoff hopes but also without danger, coach Johannes Hoff Thorup could use the opportunity to test different players from the start.
