Reading, Recent FormReading will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Burnley with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, (TBC) will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
There will be mixed feelings from The Royals, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Luton Town, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-0 away win against Rotherham United in their latest league match, Luton Town will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.
Manager Rob Edwards will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Carlton Morris has given the travelling Luton Town support something to shout about on the road.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
It's been a long time since Reading have managed to find the back of the net against The Hatters, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. Playing at home, Reading have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Luton. In their past 5 meetings, Luton's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Royals will have to take their chances when they come.
In their last 4 league meetings, Reading have failed to record a victory against Luton.
Reading manager (TBC) has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ovie Ejaria (Knee), Junior Hoilett (Hamstring), Sam Hutchinson (Achilles tendon), Tom Ince (Leg), Shane Long (Hamstring), Tom McIntyre (Hamstring), Liam Moore (Foot), Baba Rahman (Ankle) and Dejan Tetek (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Dan Potts (Hamstring) and Jack Walton (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rob Edwards will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
