Reading, Recent FormThe Reading players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Swansea City recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a possession stat of 26% and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Swansea City, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Paul Ince will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. 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.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Bristol City, Recent FormBristol City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against West Bromwich Albion. During that encounter they recorded 42% of the possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 0 of their 14 shots on goal.
Manager Nigel Pearson will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Nahki Wells has given the travelling Bristol City support something to shout about on the road.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-1 win for Bristol City.
With at least 1 goal in each of their last 6 away matches against Reading in the league, The Robins have built a decent scoring record that they will be keen to extend.
Bristol City has won the last 2 games they've played against Reading in the league.
Bristol City player Andreas Weimann has scored 2 times in the previous 3 matches against Reading away at Select Car Leasing Stadium in the league and will be looking for more of the same in this match.
Reading manager Paul Ince has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Femi Azeez (Hamstring), Scott Dann (Calf), Sam Hutchinson (Hamstring), Liam Moore (Knee) and Naby Sarr (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson ahead of this clash, with Kal Naismith (Calf) missing out, which gives Pearson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
