Reading will be looking to become the first team to beat Bournemouth in the Championship this season when they host the league leaders on Match Day 15. Reading head into this game having garnered 19 points and are in 13th place while Bournemouth lead, on 34 points. In their earlier matches Reading were scoring a lot but that touch has abandoned them in the past few games. Going to this one, they’ve managed more than one goal in just one of the last six. It will be tougher here, facing the best defensive side in the league. Reading have three losses in their last five matches and the two sides they’ve beaten are both in the bottom four. Twice in the last five matches they’ve failed to score and in the last two games alone, they’ve conceded five goals. In their last five meetings with Bournemouth, Reading have managed just one win.

Bournemouth are yet to taste defeat in the league this season and they are already favorites for automatic promotion after their missing out in the playoffs last season. They go into this game on the back of four straight wins; they are good in defence as well as attack. In their last five matches they have eight goals and four clean sheets, conceding just one goal. In attack, Dominic Solanke has been their main guy, and heads here with four goals in four. They go into this game having scored two or more goals in three of the last four matches. Away from home in the Championship, they have six straight clean sheets and five wins in the seven away matches they’ve played this season. In the last five meetings with Reading, Bournemouth have recorded four wins.
