Oxford United, Recent FormOxford United will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Portsmouth, which ran out a 2-2 draw.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at The Kassam Stadium.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Mark Harris will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Oxford United.
Reading, Recent FormReading will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Leyton Orient, not least because of the valuable point gained.
When it comes to attacking power Rubén Sellés will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in their 27 most recent away games.
Reading will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 13 league games on the road.
Sam Smith will be hoping to create problems for Oxford United in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Reading.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Royals will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Oxford Utd.
Oxford Utd has a poor track record in the league when they host Reading, losing in their last 2 home games.
With no real injury worries, Oxford Utd manager Des Buckingham will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
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.
