Reading crestReading, Recent Form

Losing 2-1 away to Coventry City won't leave the Reading squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league.  During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 19 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.  They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Having drawn their last 4 league games at home and having not won any of their last 6, The Royals will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.  

Goalscorer Andy Carroll will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Reading.

Wigan Athletic crestWigan Athletic, Recent Form

Away
most recent

This Wigan Athletic side will be full of confidence going into this match against Reading, having recorded a 2-1 home win against Millwall in their last league match.  They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost.  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 bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  

Reading vs. Wigan Athletic Head to head

Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Wigan Athletic, losing 0-1 to Reading.
