Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Millwall & Reading face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Millwall form and stats

Millwall was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Carabao Cup.

A good away victory last time out for Millwall, who won 1-0 against Middlesbrough. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Rowett when Esse scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute. Defender Hutchinson got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.94/10. Hutchinson hit one key pass and won 12 of 14 duels.

Preceding that match was the home Championship game against Blackburn Rovers that was lost 3-4.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Millwall, as the Championship home game vs Bristol City is only four days away.

Reading form and stats

Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.

Reading might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Peterborough United proved too strong as Reading slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Madejski Stadium.

Prior to that match, the Reading manager Salvador faced defeat when travelling to Huddersfield Town and losing 0-2.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Reading manager Salvador as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Port Vale.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - one - three (Millwall wins - draws - Reading wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
