Knowing they can move within easy reach of the automatic promotion spots on Tuesday evening, Bolton will travel to Berkshire when they meet Reading.
Starting with the home side, while Reading might have got February started with an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at AFC Wimbledon, it seems the result was nothing more than a minor mistake for Leam Richardson’s camp. The Royals most recently secured their own dramatic 3-2 win against Wycombe this weekend and have won three of their previous four League One appearances. Similarly, the Berkshire team have also suffered just one defeat in any of their last six outings. Tuesday’s opening showdown was just three points away from rocketing into the play-off places. Reading should also be excited about their extensive success on home soil. Richardson’s side are undefeated in front of their own supporters since early December and have also built a reputation for their lively results at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. Including back-to-back 2-2 stalemates against Exeter and Barnsley last month, the Royals have seen their last three home games yield thirteen goals from both ends of the pitch.
As for the visitors, while Bolton may have been at the heart of a bit of trouble either side of the opening of the new year, Steven Schumacher’s side roared back in great style. The Trotters are rocketing up the League One table and know they can move within easy reach of the automatic promotion spots here. Despite being last seen in a 1-1 stalemate at Lincoln this weekend, the former Plymouth boss has seen his high-flying side register thirteen points from their previous five outings. In fact, Tuesday’s guests are unbeaten in all their last seven League One clashes (five wins, two draws). Kicking off February with a 3-2 win against Barnsley, Schumacher’s side have also suffered just one defeat at the Toughsheet Community Stadium this calendar year. It should also be noted that Bolton have seen four of their last five matches end with both teams finding the net.
Betting odds: Both teams to score on Reading vs Bolton 8/11 for Tuesday’s League One match @ 1xInset
