Reading

LWLLLL 📉

Reading will be wanting a better result here after a 2-1 Championship loss in their previous game against Blackburn Rovers.

In that match, Reading managed 47% possession and 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Reading was Cesare Casadei (68'). On the other side, Blackburn Rovers had 12 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Ben Brereton Díaz (2') and Ryan Hedges (82') scored for Blackburn Rovers.

Reading haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 4 against opposing sides during their last six fixtures. In those meetings, Reading have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 11. In any event, time will tell if that trend will be sustained in this next game or not.

Going into this encounter, Reading have not won at home in their last 2 league games.

Hull City

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Burnley in Championship competition, Hull City will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Hull City managed 40% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Hull City was Ozan Tufan (93'). Burnley had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. Nathan Tella (43', 59', 73') was the scorer for Burnley.

Liam Rosenior's Hull City have had reason to celebrate scoring 5 times throughout their most recent 6 matches. The overall goals that they have conceded during that same period adds up to 8.

Their past results show that Hull City:

• haven't beaten Reading when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• are undefeated by Reading in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Reading

The Reading manager Paul Ince does not have any fitness worries at all before this game with a fully healthy squad to pick from.

It looks as if The Royals will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game featuring Joe Lumley, Amadou Mbengue, Tom Holmes, Naby Sarr, Tom McIntyre, Jeff Hendrick, Cesare Casadei, Femi Azeez, Tom Ince, Shane Long and Lucas Joao.

ℹ️ Team News: Hull City

Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Hull City gaffer Liam Rosenior to contend with. Vaughn Covil (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that The Tigers could decide to play in a 4-4-2 formation, going with Karl Darlow, Lewie Coyle, Alfie Jones, Sean McLoughlin, Callum Elder, A. Sayyadmanesh, Jean Michael Seri, Greg Docherty, Regan Slater, Adama Traore and Óscar Estupiñán.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Hull City and Reading are both capable of scoring here.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore predicting a very close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
