The visiting Preston North End side should be favourites in this visit to Reading, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Reading form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Reading have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games. Three consecutive losses here at Madejski Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

In their previous game, the manager José Gomes led his Reading to a defeat in the Championship match away at Bristol City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Madejski Stadium. Before that game, the home loss against Fulham with the scoreline 1-4.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Reading as they are travelling to their away game against Queens Park Rangers in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.

The Reading fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Reading with 11 goals conceded in these matches.
