Preview
Ipswich Town and Reading face at Portman Road Stadium, in a match for the 30th round of the Championship. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 09‑09‑2016, Reading got a home win by (2‑1). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 02‑02‑2016, in a match for the Championship, Ipswich Town won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by R. Fraser (57' ) and B. Pitman (89' ), for Ipswich Town, and by G. McCleary (69' ), for Reading. Although this is a match between 17th and 3rd of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 11th best in home matches and the 9th best in away matches.

Analysis Ipswich

After 9 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses, the home team is in the 17th position, havinf won 35 points so far. In the last match, they have lost at home against Derby County by (0‑3), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) an away match against Preston North End. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 12 points in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 20 conceded, against 23 points won at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Ipswich Town has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 14 of their 29 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Ipswich goes unmotivated into this game after a 0-3 home defeat at the Derby. The home team tends to play 5-3-2, favoring a slower style of play, channeling mostly through the central corridor. In this drawing, the two most advanced players are Pitman and Sears. Lawrence, Skuse and Bru may play in the most central part of the terrain. The coach will not be able to count on Luke Hyam, Giles Coke, Jonathan Williams, Myles Kenlock and Adam Webster for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Bartosz Białkowski, Josh Emmanuel, Jonas Knudsen, Christophe Berra, Steven Taylor, Luke Chambers, Toumani Diagouraga, Cole Skuse, Tom Lawrence, Emyr Huws, David McGoldrick.
Coach: K. McKenna.

Analysis Reading

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 55 points won, after 17 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Cardiff City, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Birmingham City, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 20 points in away matches and 33 at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 11 conceded at home, against 19 goals scored and 26 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Reading has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 16 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, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 29 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 14 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Reading is on his way after a 0-1 away win in Birmingham: Swift's at a 77th minute move was the hero of the game, scoring Reading with three points. Like the "enemy" of this round, Reading usually plays 5-3-2, where the two most advanced players are McCleary and Beerens. The visiting club when it invests in the offensive process usually does so through the right aisle, taking advantage of the depth offered by right-back Williams. Evans, Swift and Kelly are likely to play in the most central area of the terrain. The visiting coach should not be able to rely on Rakels, Quinn, Harriott, Joey van den Berg and Ilori for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Ali Al-Habsi, Jordan Obita, Tyler Blackett, Liam Moore, Danny Williams, Liam Kelly, Jordon Mutch, John Swift, Garath McCleary, Yann Kermorgant.
Coach: C. Gunter, R. Sellés Salvador.
