Reading
DWLWWD
Reading head into this fixture after a 0-0 League One drawn result vs Northampton Town.
Noel Hunt's Reading have netted 8 times over their past 6 outings. The comparative tally of goals that they have conceded in those same games stands at 6.
Leading up to this clash, Reading:
- haven't won against Lincoln City in their last 4 league games.
- have not been beaten in their last 9 home league matches. A very good run at home.
Lincoln City
WDLWDD
In their last game, Lincoln City drew 1-1 in the League One tie with Shrewsbury Town.
The only name on the scoresheet from Lincoln City was Tom Bayliss (4'). Aaron Pierre (23') scored for Shrewsbury Town.
A run of very capable showings from the Lincoln City defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 fixtures in total. During the same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 9. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this match, though.
Coming into this meeting, Lincoln City are without an away win for the past 4 league matches.
🤜🤛 Head to head
The previous league meeting featuring the two was League One match day 21 on 21/12/2024 when it finished Lincoln City 2-0 Reading.
The referee was Adam Herczeg.
✨ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Lincoln City will really need to work well to find the net against this Reading side who we think should be able to grind out a win.
We’re therefore expecting a very even contest with a 1-0 advantage for Reading when the full-time whistle blows.
