Reading form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Reading's two home games in the Championship so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Madejski Stadium.

Reading drew their last game, also a home match. Charlton Athletic was the opponent, 0-0 the score. In the preceding match a 4-2 victory visiting Plymouth Argyle.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Reading have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Reading at home in the league. 4 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
