Prediction: 1-1
Peterborough
Reading will be looking to extend their impressive unbeaten run when they welcome Peterborough United to the Select Car Leasing Stadium in League One round 39. The Royals have not suffered a defeat since January 28, 2025, and they are determined to stay inside the playoff positions. However, they will have to cope without Craig, Dorsett, and Mbengue, who remain sidelined through injury.
Peterborough, on the other hand, travel to Berkshire in high spirits after recording back-to-back wins over Cambridge United and Charlton. The Posh have been finding their rhythm in attack, but with Lindgren and Adebisi missing out through injuries, they could face some defensive challenges against a resilient Reading side. While the away team's recent form suggests they will be confident going forward, Reading’s home strength and defensive stability make them a tough opponent to break down. With both teams pushing for promotion, this encounter could be a tightly contested battle. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw.
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.
