Reading, Recent FormWhen Reading last played in the league they faced Cambridge United and produced an outstanding 4-0 home win.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. At home this season, they have scored in 18 of their 20 home games and notched up 8 clean sheets.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Reading recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Sam Smith has scored in each of Reading's last 5 league games.
Northampton Town, Recent FormNorthampton Town will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Derby County.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
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.
Marc Leonard will be hoping to create problems for Reading in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Northampton Town.
It was not a positive ending for Reading last time they met Northampton Town in the league, with the game ending in a 3-1 defeat.
The Northampton defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Royals in the league, with Northampton conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Reading have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Northampton. Playing at home, Reading have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Northampton.
When playing at home in the league, Reading have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Northampton, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
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.
Northampton manager Jon Brady has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
