Exeter City, Recent FormExeter City enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Carlisle United last time out in the league.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at St James Park, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Reading, Recent FormReading will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Stevenage.
It seems pretty certain that Rubén Sellés will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 15 most recent trips.
An away win for Reading is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 13 games.
On an individual basis, Jahmari Clarke will be looking to cause Exeter City some problems having scored 2 goals in Reading's last 6 away games in the league.
The 1-0 victory which Reading recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
Playing at home, Exeter have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Reading. When Reading visit The Grecians in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Reading has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Exeter in 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Exeter manager Gary Caldwell will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
