We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to in the English Championship over the festive period and that includes a meeting between Reading and Swansea City.
The match will be played on the 27th of December and the hosts begin this round of games in 11th place on 32 points while the visitors are in 10th place on the same number of points.
Reading come into the match on the back of a 3-2 defeat at Birmingham City last time out. Reading were awful in the first half and found themselves 3-0 down after only 36 minutes.
Things only started to improve in the latter stages of the game and Reading scored 2 goals inside the final 8 minutes but it was too little, too late.
Reading will be disappointed with the result at Birmingham City having won their previous 2 matches in the Championship. The wins came over Hull City away and Coventry City at home.
Trends show Reading have won only 2 of their last 7 Championship fixtures. The Royals have lost 4 of those matches and have just 3 wins to their name from their 12 most recent Championship games.
However, Reading are not easy to beat at home and they are undefeated in 8 of their last 11 Championship matches on home soil. Reading have kept only 2 clean sheets in their 8 most recent home league games.
Swansea City make the trip to the Select Car Leasing Stadium having previously picked up a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Coventry City in the Championship. After over an hour of the match, it appeared Swansea City were going home with nothing as they were 3-0 down. However, they produced a tremendous final 25 minutes to score 3 goals without reply, including an 84th minute equaliser to get a draw.
That result means Swansea City are undefeated in 4 of their 5 most recent Championship fixtures. However, they have failed to win any of those matches and Swansea City have been held at home by Wigan Athletic and away against Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town, and Coventry City.
Trends show Swansea City have drawn 4 of their last 5 away Championship games. They have conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 away league matches.
Team news and Reading will be without the injured quartet of Tom Holmes, Dejan Tetek, Liam Moore, and Scott Dann.
Swansea City travel without any injury or suspension concerns and should be at full strength for this game.
Considering the form of both teams coming into this match, neither seem likely to win.
However, both teams have been conceding goals home and away respectively and that means this match could end level, with both teams scoring.
