10 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Reading have to build on here at Select Car Leasing Stadium in the Championship. When Reading hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Millwall, Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, Coventry City and Burnley), they have won 3 of 7 matches! Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Select Car Leasing Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Reading.

Reading drew their last game, also a home match. Burnley (placed 1st) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Guinness-Walker, defender, was given a rating of 7.4/10 in that game, top of the team. Guinness-Walker won 6 of 9 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Preston North End.
