Millwall have won five, drawn six and lost four of their 15 Championship matches this season to sit 12th in the table with 21 points two points ahead of their opponents.

After a good run of results, Veljko Paunovic’s side have lost their last three league games and the Royals will hope to turn things around with a win against Millwall.
