THE PREDICTION

Reading suffered their first defeat in this season’s Championship campaign last Friday night, going down 3-2 away at Coventry. They have a chance to bounce back at home but won’t have it easy against a Preston side who have won three of their four away league matches this season. The Royals have been furthered hampered by an injury to key central defender Liam Moore, who will prove a big loss to Veljko Paunovic’s side. Preston will travel to Reading confident with the game not being at Deepdale and without Moore in the Reading side, the Lilywhites are more than capable of picking up at least a point here, if not all three.
