Reading City form and stats
Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the preliminary round.The manager was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue. Reading City suffered a 2-4 loss to Wembley. As you can tell from the result, the match against Wembley was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Virginia Water.Head 2 Head
