Reading, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Sunderland will not have sat easily with the Reading squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 34% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Sunderland managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. Having shipped goals in 10 out of their 14 matches this season, supremo Paul Ince will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
There will be mixed feelings from The Royals, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Jeff Hendrick will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Reading's last 6 league games.
Rotherham United, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Rotherham United and Blackpool in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Blackpool who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. 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.
There will be mixed feelings from The Millers, while they've been undefeated in their last 4 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Rotherham United, Ben Wiles will be looking to add more goals against Reading in this match.
