21st- against 13th spot might not seem all that inviting. But: Tipsway has the knowledge that makes Reading - Coventry City (even) more engrossing!
- Reading have the most conceded goals (31) at home in Championship
- Coventry City have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (11) in Championship
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Reading form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Reading at their home stadium (Select Car Leasing Stadium) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats. Reading are slowly digging their own grave here at Select Car Leasing Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Barnsley match.
No payout for Reading in their previous match, an away game at Bristol City that ended in defeat 1-2. Holmes, defender, was given a rating of 7.14/10 in that game, top of the team. Holmes hit one key pass and won 11 of 15 duels.
Heartbreak before that as Reading lost 0-4 at Queens Park Rangers's place.There will be little rest for Reading after this match as they are travelling to Peterborough United for a Championship game in only four days.
Reading are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 15 games. Reading have conceded 31 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Coventry City form and stats
3 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Coventry City playing as the away team in the Championship this season.
Coventry's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Blackpool that finished 1-1.
The schedule is very tough for Coventry City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Cardiff City is waiting in only three days.
Coventry City have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The two combatants have met earlier this season: Coventry City - Reading 2-1. Reading-Coventry City H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Reading four wins, Coventry City two wins, four draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
