Huddersfield Town, Recent FormIn their last fixture against Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town managed a 1-0 home victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game. They came away from that fixture with 31% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Sheffield United managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Neil Warnock will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Reading, Recent FormReading were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Wigan Athletic had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Noel Hunt will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
A win for Reading is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 12 games.
Andy Carroll will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Reading.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-1 win for Reading.
The Royals defence has struggled against Huddersfield in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games.
Huddersfield player Danny Ward will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Reading, having scored 4 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Huddersfield manager Neil Warnock has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tino Anjorin (Ankle), Duane Holmes (Tendon), Anthony Knockaert (Knock), Yuta Nakayama (Achilles tendon), Kieran Phillips (Leg) and Ollie Turton (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Liam Moore (Foot) and Dejan Tetek (Leg) being out for the rest of the season and Ovie Ejaria (Knee), Sam Hutchinson (Achilles tendon), Tom Ince (Leg) and Baba Rahman (Ankle) all unavailable in the shorter term, Reading manager Noel Hunt will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
