Millwall scrimmages with Fulham in Championship match

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Millwall and Fulham.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Two travels in a row for Fulham, whose manager M. Saraiva da Silva could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Huddersfield Town. Midfield player Bobby Reid was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.43/10. Reid signed up for three assists, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 24 successful passes (of 27 total). As mentioned above, Fulham was the only team on the pitch versus Huddersfield Town in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

A draw for Fulham before that, at their own venue hosting Middlesbrough (1-1).

A quick return to home after this game, as Fulham are hosting Hull City in the Championship only four days away.
