Match Facts
Peterborough United are looking to complete a league double over Reading for the first time ever, following their 1-0 win on the opening day of the season.
Reading have only won two of 18 away league visits to Peterborough (D4 L12) and none since a 2-1 victory in November 2001.
Peterborough have lost 15 of their last 23 league games played on Boxing Day (W5 D3) and are winless in three (D1 L2) since a 3-1 win at Bradford in 2017.
Reading have won their last two league games on Boxing Day, last winning more consecutively between 1988 and 1991 (four).
