Recent respective form guides
Reading need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Royals have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.
Leicester City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Foxes's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.
Reading lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 52 points from their 34 games so far. Leicester City find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 40 points from their 32 matches.
