The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 1st and 16th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 1st best team in home matches and the 1st best in away matches.

Analysis Reading

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 22 points won, after 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Blackburn Rovers, by (2‑4). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Coventry City, by (3‑2).

Reading comes to this match with a loss, by 3-2, in the trip to Coventry, putting an end to the three consecutive victories in the second English division: the goals of the team were signed by Lucas João and George Puscas. Despite this defeat, the home team remain at the top of the league leaderboard. Usually the coach Veljko Paunovic plays the team in a 4-3-3 formation, favoring the middle block and organized attacks, mainly through the runners: Michael Olise and Sone Aluko are very fast and excellent in the defense-offense transition. Lucas João is Reading's scorer with 6 goals scored. For this match the home coach won't count on Felipe Araruna, John Swift, Andy Yiadom, Sam Baldock and Ovie Ejaria, all recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Tom McIntyre, Omar Richards, Tomás Esteves, Michael Morrison, Michael Olise, Josh Laurent, Alfa Semedo, Sone Aluko, Andy Rinomhota, Lucas João.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 9 matches for the Championship, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1.

However, it is important to note that the visitors have great quality playing away from home: 10 points in 4 matches played. In this match against the leader of the championship, the coach Alex Neil should align the team in a 4-3-3 formation, opting for a more defensive strategy and exploring the space on the opponent's back. It is important to note that the Preston North End has gaps in the aerial game, set plays, finishing and defensive transition. Out for this match are Ben Davies, Ben Pearson and Louis Moult, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Declan Rudd, Jordan Storey, Joe Rafferty, Paul Huntington, Darnell Fisher, Ryan Ledson, Daniel Johnson, Brad Potts, Alan Browne, Emil Riis, Scott Sinclair.
