Millwall form and stats
Millwall have played 7 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
No payout for Millwall in their previous match, an away game at Huddersfield Town that ended in defeat 0-1. Jed Wallace, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the champion player for the side in that match, and was presented with a rating of 7.65 (out of 10). Wallace hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Before that, Millwall had a home game versus Stoke City which ended with a victory 2-1.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Millwall handle that role? We have found 16 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are eight wins, three draws and five defeats.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Derby County are coming to town in four days.
The Millwall fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Millwall have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Reading form and stats
There's been little loot from Reading's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Championship. Reading only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. Recent form does not give Reading much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Millwall will be a tough nut to crack.
Reading aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 249 league minutes without a goal. T. Dele-Bashiru was the last player to find the net.
The manager V. Paunovic was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Madejski Stadium. Reading suffered a 0-2 loss to AFC Bournemouth (placed 1st). Danny Drinkwater got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, top player of the team. Drinkwater dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Blackburn Rovers wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.Reading are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, four draws and six defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Birmingham City.
The attacking power of Reading when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Reading have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
