Head-to-Head


Reading have a 19-17 advantage against Peterborough in 50 meetings with 14 draws.

Peterborough Form


Peterborough lost 1-0 at home against Preston on Saturday. It was their third consecutive Championship defeat after losses at Cardiff (4-0) and at home against Sheffield United (2-0).

The Posh had chances against Preston, with 16 shots. Joe Ward hit the post in the second half before Darren Ferguson’s side conceded the winner. 

Peterborough have taken one point from their last seven matches, a 2-2 draw at Birmingham. Poor form leaves them two points from safety in 22nd place. 

Peterborough Injuries & Team News


Defensive pair Dan Butler and Mark Beevers are ruled out.

Attacker Joel Randall is also unavailable with an injury.

Reading Form


Reading lost their eighth consecutive match in all competitions last time out. The Royals fell to a 3-2 home defeat against Coventry.

Veljko Paunović’s side led through Lucas João’s early goal before they conceded two either side of half time. Andy Yiadom then equalised before Coventry netted the winner with 25 minutes left. 

Reading have taken just one point from their eight matches in 2022 and they haven’t won since November. They are firmly in the relegation battle, two points off the drop and ten points behind Cardiff in 20th place. 

Reading Injuries & Team News


Midfielder David Hoilett is suspended.

Defenders Felipe Araruna, Scott Dann are out due to injury. 

Midfielders Alen Halilovic, Ovie Ejaria and Dejan Tetek are also sidelined.
