Recent respective form guides

Reading's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Royals have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Queens Park Rangers's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Rangers have hit 8 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Reading find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 34 games have yielded only 24 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Reading at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Royals will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
