Reading - Fleetwood Town: League One basement sides scrapping for points and triumph. Read all the interesting data and facts before the game!
- Reading have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Fleetwood Town have the most conceded goals in the first half (15) in League One
It's no vacation for neither Reading nor Fleetwood Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Reading form and stats
3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Reading so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Reading to get some points in this home game.
No payout for Reading in their previous match, an away game at Charlton Athletic that ended in defeat 0-4. As you see from the result above, Reading suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfield player Azeez got a match rating of 7.11 in that game, the max score being 10. Azeez hit two key passes.
Preceding that result, a home victory hosting Swindon Town in the EFL Trophy. This is expected to be a close game, with Reading perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Reading as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Reading has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Reading as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Portsmouth are visiting.
Defensively Reading have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Fleetwood Town form and stats
There's been little loot from Fleetwood Town's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the League One. Fleetwood Town only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.
Fleetwood Town failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Lincoln City (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Attacker Marriott got a player rating of 7.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Marriott hit one key pass.
Preceding that, 3-3 away against Wigan Athletic (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) in the EFL Trophy. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Fleetwood Town in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Fleetwood Town, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Fleetwood now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Barnsley is waiting in only four days.
8 goals have been conceded by Fleetwood Town in these games.
