Reading Form

Reading had to endure a six-point deduction last season and will be focusing on some stability in the 2024-25 campaign. Former owner of Wycombe Wanderers Rob Couhig is close to finalizing a deal for the club, which will help them sort out both off-field crises. Manager Ruben Selles has taken full advantage of it, keeping his focus on the field. The Royals have been able to make a decent start to their campaign by drawing with Birmingham City and claiming victories over Wigan Athletic and West Ham United U21s. They will now try to secure a third consecutive victory and their first away as they travel to Wales and face Wrexham this weekend.

Predicted Lineup for Reading

Pereira; Craig, Mbengue, Bindon, Dorsett; Elliott, Wing, Savage; Camara, Ehibhatiomhan, Smith

Wrexham vs Reading Expert Tips

Wrexham's Jacob Mendy returned from injury in the reserve match against Stoke City Under-21s as he bids to get up to full speed. It's not sure whether he will be fit enough to feature in first-team action, while the condition of Paul Mullin, working his way back from spinal surgery, will also be checked. Manager Phil Parkinson could name an unchanged lineup to the one which drew against Bolton recently. Reading will lose Harvey Knibbs to groin trouble, while Andy Yiadom and Femi Azeez are still out. Both teams have four points from their two games so far this season, and a draw is expected when the sides meet at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday. Take double chance on the away side for maximum profitability.
