- 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 30' It looks surprising Millwall FC does not make any changes. George Saville has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andy Yiadom made 379 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' Millwall FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 45' Reading FC is showing some good football. However, Reading FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bartosz Bialkowski suffering a number of foals already.
