Burton Albion welcome Reading at Pirelli Stadium, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire on Saturday, Dec 12 at 1:30 PM in a League 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Burton Albion come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Reading, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Burton Albion face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Reading have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Reading won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Burton Albion a slight edge, but Reading are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
