Millwall Preview – Can the Lions roar back with a home win?
Millwall have been hard to beat this season, losing just four of their opening 15 in the Championship. Too many draws has been an issue again, but the Lions have not drawn any of their last six. Since a 1-1 stalemate at Nottingham Forest, the Lions have won four and lost two.
Millwall have been solid on their own patch this term, with just Fulham and Luton Town winning at The Den in the Championship. Last time out on home turf, Gary Rowett’s men beat Stoke City 2-1, with Tom Bradshaw netting both goals.
Millwall fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield at the John Smith’s Stadium last weekend. Still, the London outfit will be looking to get back to winning ways at the first time of asking in midweek. The home victory here is priced at 10/11.
Reading Preview – Royals to suffer fourth straight loss?
Reading have had a strange batch of results at the start of this season. After 15 league games played, Veljko Paunovic’s troops have picked up six wins, suffered eight defeats and drawn once.
The Royals were in excellent form from mid-September to mid-October, winning five of six Championship games. However, since securing back-to-back wins over Cardiff City and Barnsley, Reading have lost three in a row. Last time out, league leaders Bournemouth won 2-0 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Reading have struggled in this fixture in recent times, and the out-of-form Royals could crash to another defeat at the hands of Millwall on Tuesday. All five of the Lions’ league victories have been by one goal, so back Millwall to win by a one-goal margin in this one at 13/5.
Tom Bradshaw has struggled to get going this season, but the 29-year-old hit a priceless brace to give Millwall a 2-1 win over Stoke in their last home match. We fancy Bradshaw to score anytime in this one at 21/10.
