On the 4th of October, Reading will play host to Norwich City in a meeting of these two Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, 3rd placed Reading, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Wigan Athletic. Thomas Ince struck first for Reading in the 63rd minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Wigan Athletic couldn’t manage to score, and Reading took the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Reading should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Norwich City recorded a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion. Dara O’Shea struck first for West Bromwich Albion in the 9th minute on a feed from John Swift, then Sam Byram tied it up for Norwich City in the 68th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Norwich City. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Norwich City should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Norwich City is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Josh Sargent and Teemu Pukki each having 3 goals in their last five. Lucas João has been the most effective weapon for Reading lately. The Portugeese attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches.
