Recent respective form guides
Reading's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Royals have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Nottm. Forest's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Forest have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
