Peterborough United, Recent FormPeterborough United head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 away win against Shrewsbury Town in their last league encounter.
It's clear that Darren Ferguson, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 17 goals and only give 3 away. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games, and they've scored in 21 of their 22 games overall this season.
They have been performing well at Weston Homes Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
Kwame Poku will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Peterborough United.
Reading, Recent FormReading will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Wigan Athletic.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they've conceded a goal in each of their last 24 games away from home.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 8 of their 10 away league games.
Goalscorer Harvey Knibbs will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Reading.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Peterborough United running out winners in a match that ended 0-1.
Ahead of this match, The Royals won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Peterborough in their last 2 meetings. Playing at home, Peterborough have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Reading.
In the league, Peterborough have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Reading to Weston Homes Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
