Last Game:

Reading took important victory before the break. They had a difficult job to do away against Derby but managed to deliver the needed result. Moore and Sone Aluko gave Reading comfortable early lead. The score raised to 3-0 when Derby finally found a way into the net for 3-1. 2 more goals followed for the full time score of 2-4 and vital points for Reading.

Wolves made another statement about their ambitions last round. They dispatched tough Fulham side and continued their stay at the top. Saiss opened the score early while Leo Bonatini netted second in the middle of the first half. The rest of the game the team managed to close with relative ease.

Form and Tactical Analysis

Reading

The Royals improved in the recent two games. Jaap Stam was heavily feeling the pressure but managed to loose it a bit in the last 2 games after 2 good performances.

The team was dropping rapidly in the table and despite the 2 victories sits on 18th place closer to the dropzone than to the play-offs. Their home form needs lots of improvement as the team has won just 2 of their home games this season.

Jaap Stam was constantly witching his tactics and formation which was probably costing his team too much. He settled for the 4-2-3-1 formation in recent week and got 2 overall good performances with victories in them.

Wolves

Wolverhampton plays well and tops the table. That’s the basic summery of their season so far. The team spent big in the summer and it paid off. Their form looks stable without huge drops. Even away from home the team looks stable as they have just 2 losses so far this season. The team has scored at least 2 goals in5 of their 8 visits this season.

Wolves are sticking to their preferred 3-4-3 formation. Plenty of width, sharp and pacey, the team looks capable of scoring many but also knows how to defend.

Reading vs Wolves: Head to head

Reading has the edge here. The Royals have won 5 in the last 10 meeting against just 2 victories for Wolves.

Last season Reading won 2-1 at Madejski and lost the return fixture 2-0.

Reading have 6 game undefeated run at home with 3 victories and 3 draws.

Reading vs Wolves: Prediction

Reading still need to improve a lot. The team looks very inconsistent and unpredictable. They can score goals to any opponent but are having trouble with keeping their own net intact. Wolves are favourites in every game since the season started. The team lets the casual slip ups but looks confident of reaching their target. Both teams to score holds a decent value here, while braver betters can try the surprise and bet on the home side.
