Swansea City, Recent FormSwansea City manager Russell Martin will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 away defeat by Burnley. During that encounter they recorded 49% of the possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 5 of their 9 shots on goal.
Martin will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Reading, Recent FormAny Reading pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-0 home defeat by West Bromwich Albion. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to West Bromwich Albion who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Jahmari Clarke will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Swansea City in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Reading.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 4-4 draw.
Swansea have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with The Royals.
In the league, Swansea have not won any of their last 4 meetings with Reading.
With only Liam Cullen (Dislocated shoulder) and Liam Walsh (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Russell Martin will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Reading manager Paul Ince has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Femi Azeez (Hamstring), Scott Dann (Calf), Sam Hutchinson (Leg), Shane Long (Virus), Liam Moore (Knee), Baba Rahman (Hamstring) and Naby Sarr (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
