There will be fireworks when Cheltenham Town and Reading face each other at Whaddon Road in the relegation six-pointer. The Robins have been producing fine showings in festive fixtures, with the team beating both Carlisle United and Shrewsbury Town and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Reading. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be George Lloyd, who scored a brace in the Boxing Day win, while Darrel Clarke has no fresh injury worries.
The Royals, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Peterborough on Tuesday, with the team extending their winless run to four games. Reading are eager to escape the relegation zone and given their signs of improvement up front, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
