The Royals travel to Ewood Park as they look to respond to three games without a win.

Here is everything you need to know.

Form

Andreas Voglsammer’s first half penalty condemned Reading to yet another defeat in 2023, as Millwall jumped into the play-off spots in the Championship.

It followed the same score line at home to Sheffield United, as the Blades edged a tight game at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. Iliman Ndiaye found the winner in the 60th minute to claim all three points for Paul Heckingbottom’s side.

The Royals travel to Ewood Park having not won a game on the road since November, where they beat Hull City 2-1 at the MKM Stadium.

Blackburn had their eight-match unbeaten run in the Championship ended last time out against Stoke City. Ben Brereton and Sam Gallagher pulled two goals back for Rovers late on, but it was not enough to take anything away from the game.

Despite the loss, Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side beat high flying Sheffield United and Premier League side Leicester City in recent weeks, outlining their promotion credentials.

Team News

Tom McIntyre, Andy Yiadom and Scott Dann are all doubts for Paul Ince’s side after picking up injuries against Millwall last time out.

Winger Yakou Meite remains out for the Royals, with Junior Hoilett also on the side-lines ahead of the midweek clash.

Liam Moore is in contention to start at Ewood Park having returned to the side in recent weeks.

Last Time Out: Reading 3-0 Blackburn Rovers; Wednesday 17 August 2022

Reading went on to claim a comfortable victory in the reverse fixture back in August, putting three past Wednesday’s host in what was also a Wednesday fixture that day.

Junior Hoilett and Lucas Joao added to a Tom McIntyre first half opener to complete the scoring for the Royals.
