Prediction: 1-1
Stevenage
In an exciting League One showdown, Reading face off against Stevenage with both teams eager to continue their positive momentum. The Royals are buoyed by their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cheltenham and head into the match without any new injury concerns. On the other side, Stevenage has made an impressive start to the season, maintaining a flawless record and aiming to preserve their 100% winning streak.
Given the closely contested nature of this encounter, a draw appears to be a likely outcome. Both sides exhibit parity in their form and strengths, making the prospect of a balanced contest all the more intriguing. Notably, Jamie Reid's potential return to Stevenage's starting lineup after his impactful goal as a substitute against Cambridge adds further firepower to their arsenal. In their last meeting in a competitive match Stevenage defeated Reading in the EFL Cup.
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.
