Reading’s side go to this game with a defeat at Fulham, continuing in this way at a very negative moment, as they only have 2 wins in the last 10 games played in this second division. Usually coach Paul Clement teams up with an offensive team, drawn in 4-2-3-1, with Bodvarsson the most offensive. However, the right-hander Barrow has excelled in the finals, having scored 10 goals in this championship. One of the great valences of the handlers is in the ability to create danger through the flanks, however, the defensive line has committed some serious faults and this penalized the Reading in great part of the meetings. For this game the coach does not have Bacuna, punished, besides Harriott and Obita, both injured.

In the image of his opponent, the Sunderland set is going through a critical period in this championship and is currently struggling to get out of the last positions in the league table. It is important to emphasize that the visitors disputed the first division in the transata season. One of Sunderland’s most serious problems this season is in the defensive organization, and this is due to the extreme need to win all three points. The completion of the created plays is also a very weak point of this formation. Analyzing the team led by Chris Coleman it is possible to note that Cattermole is a cornerstone in the team: English is paramount in the defensive and offensive process. It seems that the foreign trainer has all the players at his disposal.
