Preview
Both ends of the table are in the spotlight in the TV match that is in front of the main channel as struggling Sheffield Wednesday play host to a lofty Reading side who got their campaign back on track at the weekend and will be looking to build on that. The matches with supporters at them sees Luton Town hosting the league leaders Norwich City while Stoke City are the team heading to Adams Park to take on Wycombe Wanderers.
The early kick off comes up north where there will be no supporters when Middlesbrough host a Swansea City side who could actually end the evening on top of the table if other results go right for them. Watford are another team who could end the evening leading the way if they can pick up a win at a struggling Nottingham Forest. The other match sees Blackburn Rovers looking to continue their good form when they host Millwall who seem stuck in a rut of draws at the minute.
Betting
I expect that run of Millwall draws to come to a close here though because I believe Blackburn Rovers will beat them. The international break came at a good time for Blackburn and they have been unbeaten since then, which is no surprise because they look to have a very good squad but they had a few injuries and bumps and niggles leading into the break. Millwall look a little one-paced to me and can’t seem to buy a win or a goal.
The Lions have gone six without a win and have only scored twice in that time and against a free scoring Blackburn side they are likely to need a couple of goals at least if they are going to get anything out of this one. It hasn’t been an easy time of it for Millwall who have had Covid issues with their coaching staff and that looks to have made a negative difference to them. They look like a side who could do with a week off to reset and get going again but they won’t be getting that for a while. I think Blackburn win here.
