Portsmouth's box defence and Millwall's ability to renew attacks make the next ball central to their meeting. At The Valley, Charlton's left-sided deliveries meet a Norwich defence recently exposed by wide entries and rebounds. Both matches turn on whether the first defensive intervention becomes a lasting escape.
Dykes can link Millwall's runners, with Sykes and Neghli supplying deliveries and Lisbie attacking the next touch. Those routes have produced close chances while Arconte was absent; he remains doubtful, and Bishop's continuing absence leaves Portsmouth without an outlet already missing from their latest games. Millwall have the fuller recovery period and several ways to refresh supply after the interval. That's why I'm siding with Millwall with a draw refund.
Campbell's delivery and Charlton's restart receivers have reached good positions without Godden or Chalobah, whose training returns now add choices. Norwich regain options too, but McLean is cleared only for limited minutes and a goalkeeper return does not itself repair the cover behind Stacey. Charlton have also demonstrated substitute-assisted responses after falling behind. That's why I'm siding with Charlton to avoid defeat.
