Port Vale, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 7-0 away mauling at the hands of Barnsley, the Port Vale team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.
Despite scoring 8 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 18 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their current run of form shows 5 defeats in their last 6 outings, and that is certainly something they will want to turn around.
Reading, Recent FormThe Reading squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Peterborough United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Rubén Sellés where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 7 in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
The misery continues for Reading, having not won any of their last 14 games.
Andy Carroll will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Reading.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Reading produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
The Royals will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against Port Vale. Port Vale have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Royals.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Vale Park, Reading has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Port Vale in 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Port Vale manager Andy Crosby 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.
