Reading, Recent FormReading will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Lincoln City with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at The Select Car Leasing Stadium, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Reading, Harvey Knibbs will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormThe Wigan Athletic squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 away defeat against Port Vale, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 10 of their 11 games on the road.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Charlie Wyke is giving Wigan Athletic's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 7 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Latics have found the back of the net in each of their previous 3 league matches away from home to Reading. We've seen plenty of goals from Wigan when they've visited The Royals in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
Callum McManaman has scored in each of Wigan's last 0 league games against Reading.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Shaun Maloney ahead of this clash, with Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Maloney a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
