Prediction: 1-1
Reading
All eyes will be on Brentford Community Stadium when Brentford and Reading go head to head in the Championship round 20. The Bees are determined to return to the Premier League, and their recent displays are surely giving fans a reason for optimism. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Ivan Toney, who scored his 16th goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Watford.
Pinnock, who was sent off in the midweek fixture, will have to serve his ban against Reading, while the likes of Norgaard, Roerslev Rasmussen, and Baptiste are out of contention through injuries. The Royals, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the Championship of late. Veljko Paunovic’s men did well to beat QPR in their last away game, and they are surely capable of sharing the spoils with Brentford in London. Araruna, Puscas, Swift, and Yiadom are all sidelined with injuries.

Highlighted Player (Saïd Benrahma):
Said Benrahma is an Algeria international who started his club career at Nice. The pacey winger made his Ligue 1 debut during the 2013/2014 season and after scoring 3 goals in 17 appearances for les Aiglons in the French top flight, he moved to the Championship team Brentford in the summer of 2018.
Said Benrahma was born in Ain Temouchent, Algeria on August 10, 1995 and it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Angers, Gazelec Ajaccio and Chateauroux on loan before joining the Griffin Park outfit. The Algerian footballer impressed in the 2018/2019 Championship season, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists for his teammates.
His main position is right winger, but he is used as a left winger as well. Speaking of his international career, Said Benrahma made his debut for the Algeria national team on October 13, 2015 in a 1-0 win over Senegal.
Highlighted Team (Reading):
Reading FC is a professional football club that play in the Championship. The club was formed in 1871 and Madejski Stadium has been the home of Reading since 1998. The Royals used to play their home games at Elm Park in the past (1896 - 1998). Reading made it to the FA Cup semi-finals on two occasions (1927, 2015), but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy.
The likes of Robin Friday, Trevor Senior, Steve Death, Shaka Hislop, Phil Parkinson, Alf Messer, Jimmy Quinn, Michael Gilkes, Ronnie Blackman, Pavel Pogrebnyak and Martin Hicks are some of their more notable footballers. Aldershot Town were considered Reading’s fiercest rivals, but the Shots went out of business in 1992.
Seeing that Aldershot rejoined the league in 2008 it remains to be seen if the rivalry is going to be re-established in near future. Swindon Town and Oxford United are considered Reading’s big rivals as well.
