Both aiming to bounce back from consecutive defeats, Reading and Huddersfield Town will meet at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have dropped to fifth spot in the League One table after their fast start to the season, while their visitors sit 17th following a 5-2 beating last weekend. © Imago Reading will go in search of a third League One victory of the season on Saturday, having suffered back-to-back defeats in recent weeks after making an encouraging start to the term.
In their second straight season in England's third tier and second term under the management of Ruben Selles , in the midst of ongoing off-field uncertainty, the Royals earned seven points from their first four outings courtesy of a draw with Birmingham City and impressive 2-0 home victories over Wigan Athletic and Charlton Athletic. They have failed to add to that tally in either attempt since returning from the September international break, though, firstly hosting Leyton Orient and seeing their perfect home record ended in a 1-0 defeat before facing a tough trip to promotion-chasing Bolton Wanderers last Saturday. Selles's men went into the interval 4-1 behind in that contest, with Dion Charles having notched up a first-half hat-trick for the hosts, and after Sam Smith reduced the deficit to two from the penalty spot from the hour mark, they were unable to force a comeback and saw Kyle Dempsey put the game out of sight and wrap up a 5-2 home win in the dying embers.
Having now dro.
