Every time I write this Reading's form has got even better. We've been the most in-form side in the Division for weeks now and keep following it up with more high scoring home victories. On Tuesday night we beat Wrexham 4-1 after being 4-0 up at the break - the first half performance was something special from the Royals. Reading's last three away matches were the unfortunate 0-1 defeat at Peterborough, the 3-1 win over Rotherham and the 1-1 draw at high-flying Wigan.

Bristol City may have only scored 9 goals all season - but they've only let in 10 which is less than the Royals! Still, Reading have a habit of hitting goals past tighter defences than this one. With Reading second in the table we'll definately be on the hunt for a win against a Bristol side placed 20th, however the table doesn't tell the whole story. City are unbeaten in their last six league matches which have included impressive away draws at Walsall (0-0) and Millwall (1-1) - two results Reading would have been very proud of! City's last home match was a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth, and before that a 1-1 draw with Colchester. If City had converted just a couple of the draws into wins they wouldn't be half as far behind the Royals. This could turn into a real test.

Reading are just about favourites for the victory - but the odds aren't that much different between the two sides, despite City being without a home win all season. A Reading victory seems like a good bet, so it might be worth a few quid on a one or two goal win.
