Rotherham

Millwall and Rotherham go head to head at the Den in the first game of the year. The Lions have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure a top-six finish. Since boss Gary Rowett will have a full squad to choose from, home win should definitely be considered.

Reading

Norwich City will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Luton Town when they host Reading to their Carrow Road on Matchday 25. The Canaries suffered a dip in form, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to finish 2022 in style. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Teemu Pukki, who scored his eighth goal of the season in a Boxing Day loss to Luton.
