Barnsley, Recent FormThe Barnsley squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Stevenage, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 38 of their 42 games this season.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Oakwell Stadium, Adam Phillips will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Reading, Recent FormReading will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Bristol Rovers.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. Their goal scoring streak away now stands at 17 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal in 19 of their 21 games away from home.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Sam Smith will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Barnsley in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Reading.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Barnsley came out on top, winning the match 1-3.
In the past 10 away matches at Barnsley in the league, The Royals have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters.
Barnsley at home have had a poor run of results against Reading, drawing their last 4 and having not won any of their last 10 league encounters at Oakwell Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Barnsley manager Neill Collins 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.
