Analysis Reading

The home team faces Sheffield United, in a match for the 32 round, which had been delayed, after 8 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 22 conceded. For the league, Reading won 9 points out of 30 possible points, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 16 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 18 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Reading comes for this match after a 3-3 draw against Derby County, adding in this way the fourth straight match without winning the championship. We should point out that the home team have only had 2 wins in their last 10 matches. In this match at home, the Jaap Stam coach must maintain his usual tactical scheme, that is, the 4-2-3-1, being Chris Martin the most offensive reference of the team. On the other hand, Modou Barrow is the main highlight so far with 7 scored goals. The defensive dead balls and the aerial pay are some aspects that have caused headache to the Dutch coach. For this match, the coach won’t count on Elphick, McShane, Obita and Quinn, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Chris Gunter, Liam Moore, Joey van den Berg, Tiago Ilori, Pelle Clement, Liam Kelly, Leandro Bacuna, Garath McCleary, Jón Daði Böðvarsson, Chris Martin.
Coach: N. Hunt.

Analysis Sheff Utd

The away team faces Reading, in a match for the 32 round, which had been delayed, after 16 wins, 4 draws and 13 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Sheffield United has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Sheffield United comes for this match after a 1-0 home defeat against Hull, adding their second defeat in the last 3 matches. Despite the uneven performance, the visiting team is very close to the zone that gives access to the play-offs of promotion to the Premier League. The coach Chris Wilder usually plays in 3-5-2, privileging the ball possession and organized attacks through the flanks, especially on the left: Stevens delivers a great depth to Sheffield United. On the other hand, Leon Clarke is the player who stands out so far with 15 scored goals. For this match, the coach won’t count on Paul Coutts due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Jamal Blackman, George Baldock, Enda Stevens, Jack O'Connell, Richard Stearman, Chris Basham, Lee Evans, John Fleck, Mark Duffy, Billy Sharp, Leon Clarke.
Coach: P. Heckingbottom.
