Prediction: 1-0
Stoke City
Following a 1-1 draw with Barnsley, Reading will look to escape the danger zone when they host Stoke City to their Madejski Stadium. Both Derby and Barnsley are breathing down their neck, meaning that Tuesday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. All Felipe Araruna, Andy Rinomhota, Yakou Meite, and Dejan Tetek should miss out with injuries, while Tom Ince is ineligible to face his parent club.
The Potters, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back wins over Millwall and Sheffield United. Stoke City, though, have little to play for in the season finale, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. As for the visiting side, both Romaine Sawyers and Tyrese Campbell should be recalled to the starting XI, while the likes of Souttar, Moore, Powell, Philogene-Bidace, and Baker are likely to miss the game through injuries.
