Charlton v Reading Match Preview

Charlton’s recent resurgence, with three straight wins, means Nathan Jones’ side go into Saturday’s meeting as hot, odds-on favourites.

It’s understandable, given that the change of formation from the Welshman has transformed their fortunes in front of goal, with Miles Leaburn starting to show signs of delivering on his potential, following an injury-hit couple of years.

Visitors Reading, though, have themselves won their last three – and are six places and seven points better off than the South Londoners, having played one game more.

The likes of Lewis Wing, Sam Smith and Harvey Knibbs are bang in form for the Royals, who are starting to get to grips with life without their influential head coach, Rubén Sellés, under internally appointed Noel Hunt.

The Berkshire outfit haven’t created as much as they might have wanted in recent games, and have needed to be clinical, but they’re 5^th for a reason and might be underestimated by the traders.
