Bristol Rovers, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Bristol Rovers supremo Matt Taylor after sustaining a heavy 5-0 away loss to Lincoln City.
He is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 4 goals scored. They have failed to score in their last 3 games, and when playing at home, they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 13 games.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Memorial Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Chris Martin will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Memorial Stadium having scored 5 goals in Bristol Rovers' last 6 home games in the league.
Reading, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Reading produced a stunning 4-0 home win over Cambridge United.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak away now stands at 13 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal in 18 of their 19 games away from home.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Reading recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Sam Smith is on a hot scoring streak recently having scored in each of Reading's last 0 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Bristol defence has struggled against The Royals in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games.
In the last 5 league meetings between these sides, Reading have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Bristol in all 5 matches.
With no real injury worries, Bristol manager Matt Taylor will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
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.
