Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

READING FC are on the search for their first away points of the season when they battle with Millwall this Saturday.

The Royals have enjoyed a perfect home record in the Championship with three wins from three, but have lost both of their away matches.

They lost to Blackpool on the opening day before a humbling 4-0 loss at Rotherham, but have bounced back in style with a thumping victory over Blackburn Rovers before they ground out a 1-0 success against Middlesbrough.

Millwall have had a mixed start to their season and are currently in 10th place on seven points from five matches.

They finished just outside of the play-off places last season, ending in ninth on 69 points, just six points outside of the top six.

The Lions have won both of their league matches at the Den having opened with a 2-0 triumph over Stoke City on the opening weekend thanks to a brace from Charlie Cresswell.

They lost 2-0 away at Sheffield United but recovered by coming back from two goals down to defeat Coventry City after George Saville’s 85th minute winner.

An astonishing end to their game at Swansea City saw Millwall escape with a point after Ben Cabango netted an own goal in the 93rd minute before Nathan Wood incredibly scored another own goal two minutes later to see Gary Rowett’s side take a 2-2 draw.

Two goals from Josh Sargent saw Millwall lose out away at Norwich City last weekend.

Reading are winless in their last five matches against Saturday’s opponents (one draw, four losses).

Both contests last season between the teams ended in 1-0 wins for Millwall.

Former Reading Academy graduate Jake Cooper scored the only goal of the game to give Millwall three points at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in March and Benik Afobe scored in the reverse fixture in November.

The Royals last won at Millwall in February 2014 with goals from Pavel Pogrebnyak, Alex Pearce and Danny Williams.

Since then, Reading have failed to win on their last six trips to the Den.
