In-form Millwall and Reading to both score
2254

Millwall bring a 4-match unbeaten run into this Saturday’s clash against Reading at The Den following a solid point away from home in last weekend’s 0-0 draw at Stoke City.

A point away from home at Cardiff City in a 1-1 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium was swiftly followed by back-to-back home wins against Brentford 1-0 and a 3-1 win over lowly Luton Town to keep Gary Rowett’s side in the frame for a possible top six finish.

Indeed, Millwall have now suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 12 matches overall in the Championship and this came in rather surprising circumstances as The Lions slipped up at home in a 2-1 loss to relegation threatened Barnsley, but that’s been Millwall’s only blip in an otherwise impressive sequence of results.

During this solid run of results, Millwall have picked up wins against Charlton Athletic, Swansea City, Bristol City, Derby County, Brentford and Luton Town along with picking up points in 5 draws as well.

The hosts have picked up just 2 wins from their last 5 at home though, and as 9 of Millwall’s 13 home matches have seen both teams score, this looks the better option.

Reading are another side who are currently enjoying a much-needed revival in fortunes under manager, Mark Bowen, as The Royals are unbeaten in their last 7 matches overall in the Championship.

This improved run of form has helped lift Reading away from immediate danger of the relegation zone and up into a more respectable looking 14th place on the Championship ladder following wins against Derby County, QPR, Preston North End and Fulham - the latter two victories both being away from home.

After struggling for the majority of the first half of the Championship campaign on the road (as Reading picked up just 1 away win from their first 8 matches on their travels), the visitors also bring a decent looking 5-match unbeaten sequence on the road into this clash at The Den.

Having recorded wins at Wigan Athletic, Preston North End and Fulham, Reading certainly look a very different prospect nowadays, while 7 of their 13 away matches have also seen both teams score.

To sum up, two in-form teams will clash at The Den and both look likely to get on the scoresheet.
