Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Reading U18 languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Brighton U18 will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Reading U18 form and stats
Reading U18 have played three Premier League U18 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Reading, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The penalty miss from J. Clarke in the defeat against West Ham U18 was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
Reading can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 6 times. As for conceded goals, Reading U18's unpleasant statistic is 9 goals surrendered. Reading's defense is seriously deficient as 9 goals have been conceded in these matches.
