Reading, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Blackburn Rovers will have left the Reading squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Blackburn Rovers, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having scored 4 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. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games.
Reading will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Hull City, Recent FormHull City will not be too disheartened with their 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Burnley who sit so many places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with a 40% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Burnley, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Liam Rosenior will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. 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.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
Óscar Estupiñán will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Reading in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Hull City.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Reading.
The Tigers will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Reading, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Select Car Leasing Stadium in the league, but Reading will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Reading manager Paul Ince with Scott Dann (Leg), Ovie Ejaria (Knee), Junior Hoilett (Hamstring), Sam Hutchinson (Achilles tendon), Yakou Meïté (Leg), Baba Rahman (Ankle) and Andy Yiadom (Foot) all unavailable for selection, and Dejan Tetek (Leg) out for the rest of the season.
Liam Rosenior has a number of injury concerns in his Hull City squad to contend with: Nathan Baxter (Ankle), Cyrus Christie (Knee), Aaron Connolly (Foot), Vaughn Covil (Cruciate ligament), Benjamin Tetteh (Hamstring) and Ryan Woods (Groin)
