Burton Albion, Recent FormThe Burton Albion squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Cheltenham Town, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Manager Martin Paterson will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 5 goals they managed at the other end. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and have conceded a goal in each of their the last 8 games at Pirelli Stadium.
Having lost their last 8 league games at home, the mood in The Brewers training camp must be desperate.
Reading, Recent FormReading will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Barnsley with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak away now stands at 18 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal in 20 of their 22 games away from home.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Sam Smith will be hoping to create problems for Burton Albion in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Reading.
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.
In the league, Reading has a good track record when they travel to Burton, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Burton manager Martin Paterson 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.
