Reading U18 desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 17 at 1:00 PM in the Premier League U18. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Aston Villa U18 come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Reading U18 travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Aston Villa U18 head into this on the back of a defeat, while Reading U18 arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Aston Villa U18 here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Reading U18, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Reading U18 won 2–7. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Aston Villa U18 a slight edge, but Reading U18 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
