Reading, Recent FormReading will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Portsmouth in which they suffered a 4-1 away defeat.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped.
They have been performing well at The Select Car Leasing Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Port Vale, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Port Vale players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Cheltenham Town.
Despite scoring 7 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Ben Garrity will be hoping to create problems for Reading in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Port Vale.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Port Vale that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
In their past 5 meetings, The Royals' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Port Vale will have to take their chances when they come. Reading have managed to keep a clean sheet against Port Vale in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
In the league, Reading has a good track record when they host Port Vale, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Port Vale manager Darren Moore has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
