Reading are on form at the minute – three wins in the last four games – and are looking like a team again. Naturally, we once again meet Stockport County, who so often beat us. Will this time be any different? Probably not. But we have hope!
Stockport only managed a draw in their last game, against Northampton Town, but are still in the top four. A win would take them 10 points above Reading, which would make them very likely to be one of the favourites for that playoff spot once again this season.
The head-to-head between the two sides is in Reading’s favour, with 11 wins, 14 draws and 10 defeats on the cards. The last game was a draw earlier in the season with Kyle Wootton getting the opener in the first half before Jack Marriott equalised in the second. The game ended 1-1 and it was one hell of a point away from home for the Royals.
In this preview I will mention the impact of the Royals’ front three and also how under-the-radar Andy Yiadom has been in the last few games, and I will give my predictions.
