Our prediction for this Championship match:
Madejski Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Reading and Millwall. The Royals aim to escape the danger zone, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Lions. New boss Paul Ince can’t count on the likes of Baba, Laurent, Azeez, Tetek, Dann, and Araruna should miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, did well to beat Sheffield United 1-0 in front of home fans at the weekend to extend their winning run to four games, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, the share of spoils is on the horizon at Madejski Stadium. As for the visitors, forward Mason Bennett, who suffered an injury in the last league fixture, is unlikely to feature against Reading.

Highlighted Team (Millwall):
Based in Bermonsdey, South East London, Millwall are a football club whose supporters have often been associated with hooliganism. West Ham United are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
Australia international Tim Cahill is considered one of the most notable footballers who whore Millwall shirt (1998-2004).
