Reading, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Reading players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 35% and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Queens Park Rangers, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Luton Town will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for West Bromwich Albion. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Luton Town's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 11 of their 13 league games.
A win for West Bromwich Albion is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Jed Wallace has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Reading.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-1 win for West Bromwich Albion.
The Baggies have managed to keep a clean sheet against Reading in each of their previous 2 meetings. The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Reading and their rivals, The Baggies, the former have conceded at least one goal. In their past 5 meetings, West Brom's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Royals will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, West Brom has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Reading in 6 games.
Reading manager Paul Ince has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Femi Azeez (Hamstring), Scott Dann (Calf), Shane Long (Virus), Liam Moore (Knee), Baba Rahman (Hamstring) and Naby Sarr (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Semi Ajayi (Ankle) and Daryl Dike (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steve Bruce will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
