Reading are in sixth place with 68 points and continue their battle for a place in the playoffs. In the last round, they won 3-1 away at Shrewsbury, marking their fourth victory in their last six matches. Their away performances have not been their strongest suit this season, but their attack shows efficiency in crucial moments.
Northampton with a convincing victory and hope for salvationThe hosts are in the lower part of the standings with 46 points, but their 4-0 victory against Peterborough in the previous round gave them a breath of fresh air. However, they are still just seven points away from the relegation zone. In the last match between the two teams, they also scored, despite losing 1-4.
Prediction: both teams to scoreBoth teams are coming off convincing victories with at least three goals scored, and in their last direct clash, both teams found the net. Considering their ambitions and recent results, I expect goals from both sides.
