Match Facts
Burton Albion have won just one of their five previous league games against Reading (D1 L3), a 2-1 Championship victory in December 2017.
Reading have won both of their previous two league trips to Burton Albion, each in the Championship in 2016-17 (4-2) and 2017-18 (3-1).
Burton Albion have won just one of their last 12 league games (D2 L9) with the Brewers losing all seven of their home games during that time. Indeed, their current overall run of eight home losses in succession is their joint-longest such run in their Football League history, also doing so in December 2017.
Reading have lost just one of their last six league games (W3 D2), with each of the Royals’ three victories in that time seeing them keep a clean sheet.
