Reading prepare to entertain Burnley at Madjeski Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 11 previous games, with the Royals winning just 5.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Madjeski Stadium was just last season, in August 2002, with Reading running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Reading's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Royals have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Burnley's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Clarets have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Reading lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide League Division One, picking up 48 points from their 31 games so far. Burnley find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 37 points from their 31 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Attention punters! I see this as an opportunity for the Royals to get the show back on the road by taking all the three points available. Home Win
