Prediction: 0-1
Millwall
Saturday’s football game at Select Car Leasing Stadium pits together Reading and Millwall, the two teams who were beaten by Norwich City and Sheffield United respectively in their last league fixtures. The Royals are stuck in middle of the table with slim playoffs chances, and seeing that they suffered a dip in form, home win should not be considered. Fit-again forward Lucas Joao is pushing for a start, while all Junior Hoilett, Abdul-Rahman Baba, Sam Hutchinson, and Dejan Tetek remain in the recovery room.
The Lions, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, and seeing that Jake Cooper’s goal helped the capital club beat Reading in their last meeting at Select Leasing Stadium, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting side. Gary Rowett can’t count on the likes of Billy Mitchell, Mason Bennett, Callum Styles, and Tyler Burey for Saturday’s clash, while Aidomo Emakhu is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Sam Hutchinson):
Sam Hutchinson is a defender who is capable of playing as both right and centre back. The English footballer, who was born on 3 August, 1989 is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well, but he doesn’t score too many goals. Hutchinson was born in Windsor, Berkshire and he began his youth career at Chelsea.
The defender made just five appearances for Chelsea and it has to be noted that he played on loan at Nottingham Forest, Vitesse and Sheffield Wednesday. On 23 May 2014 Chelsea released him, meaning that he was available for free transfer. Hutchinson signed a permanent deal with the Owls on 8 July, 2014.
The 182-cm-tall defender played 25 games for Sheffield Wednesday in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign, but he did not find the net for the Hillsborough outfit. Sam Hutchinson is married to Jennifer, who gave birth to their daughter. His father Eddie Hutchinson had a career in non-League football.
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).
