Week 36 brings us a match on Mar 5th, where Reading hosts Millwall in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 4 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Reading is fresh off their 1-4 loss against Blackpool. Lucas João struck first for Reading in the 17th minute on a feed from Andy Yiadom, then Marvin Ekpiteta tied it up for Blackpool in the 27th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 61st minute on a goal by Gary Madine. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while millwall is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Sheffield United. Jake Cooper scored the first goal for Millwall in the 61st minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Sheffield United couldn’t muster any offence and Millwall ran away with the shutout win. Millwall is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
