Millwall v Norwich City: promotion push meets mid-table climb | OneFootball

Millwall host Norwich City in the Championship at The Den on Monday, 6 April 2026, with the hosts defending an automatic promotion spot and the visitors seeking to climb from mid-table.

Norwich City have the edge in recent meetings, winning seven of the last 13 against Millwall. The game also sets second against 11th, sharpening the incentive on both sides.

The Lions have won three of their last five league matches, including an away victory at Middlesbrough. The Canaries have also recorded three wins in their last five in the league and drew last time out.

The Lions list Massimo Luongo, Lukas Jensen, William Smallbone, Benicio Baker-Boaitey and Daniel Kelly as injured. The Canaries are without Shane Duffy, Mirko Topić, Matej Jurasek, Ante Crnac and Jovon Makama.

The Lions average 46% possession with 70.10% pass accuracy, deliver 628 open-play crosses at 22.77% accuracy and have won 1,055 aerial duels, pointing to a direct approach and strength in the air. The Canaries average 53% possession and 80.13% pass accuracy, so they may try to control midfield. With Makama on 10 league goals among the absentees, the Canaries could share the burden in attack. For the hosts, Femi Azeez leads their Championship creativity with seven assists and 15 goal contributions, while Tristan Crama has supplied six assists.

The Lions sit second on 72 points in the automatic promotion places and a win could tighten their grip. The Canaries are 11th on 55 points and victory could move them up the table and closer to the play-off picture.
