Reading form and stats
Reading have been very solid at home in the Championship so far, with 15 points collected from 6 matches (5-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 3rd position in the table.
A nice win for Reading last time playing, versus Huddersfield Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Méïté and McIntyre scoring for the victors. McIntyre, defender, was given a rating of 7.7/10 in that game, top of the team. McIntyre scored one goal and won 5 of 6 duels.
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Wigan Athletic.The manager Ince will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Queens Park Rangers in only three days.
The Reading fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 6 league matches.
Norwich City form and stats
3-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Norwich City in their Championship matches away. Having won their last three away games Norwich City has no reason to fear anyone.
Norwich play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Blackpool (placed 19th). Goalkeeper Krul was absolutely vital in the Norwich City victory against Blackpool, making six saves. Midfield player Núñez was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.73/10. Núñez hit the woodwork once, hit eight key passes and had 47 successful passes (of 58 total).
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against West Bromwich Albion.A new game in only four days for Norwich City, the Championship home match versus Preston North End. Busy days.
They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
