Analysis Reading
Reading continues to have a difficult time in the league and in the last match they added the fourth straight win without winning, getting a draw against Barnsley. A triumph in this match against Birmingham leaves the team calmer in the league table. It’s expected the coach Jaap Stam will act in the image of the last match, that is, in 4-3-3, benefiting from ball possession and organized attacks. It’s important to point out the home team has exhibited some weaknesses in dead balls and defensive organization. The list of absences for this match is extensive, all due to injury: Mendes, Harriott, Obita and Quinn.
Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Chris Gunter, Joey van den Berg, Paul McShane, Liam Moore, Leandro Bacuna, Sone Aluko, John Swift, Pelle Clement, Yann Kermorgant, Modou Barrow.
Analysis Birmingham
In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 12 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
Birmingham fans comes for this match after their victory by 1-0 against Leeds, and this may be a reaction to their upcoming matches, as they remain in the final position of the competition. However, the visiting team must fight against the poor performance away, having scored only 3 points in 12 matches. In this match, the coach Steve Cotterill must play in the usual 4-2-3-1 privileging the defensive organization and the long balls for the attack. Nevertheless, it’s important to emphasize the visiting team present some gaps in the maintenance of ball possession, aerial play, finalization and counterattack. Vassell and Adams are some of those missing due to injury.
Confirmed Lineup: David Stockdale, Maxime Colin, Jonathan Grounds, Marc Roberts, Harlee Dean, Maikel Kieftenbeld, Jacques Maghoma, Craig Gardner, David Davis, Jérémie Boga, Sam Gallagher.
