Reading have taken 8 points from their last five; Brentford are unbeaten in their last five. Form gives little away going into this EFL Cup tie.
Both sides are prolific in front of goal. Reading average 2.0 per game and Brentford chip in with 2.1. Expect an open, attacking contest.
Reading average 2.0 goals per game and Brentford manage 2.1. Combined that's just 4.1. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Reading are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Brentford, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Brentford have goals in them (2.1 per game) but their record at the back (1.3 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 10 meetings: Reading have won 2, Brentford 6, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 3.2 goals per game. 7 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Both teams have scored in most of their recent meetings, so there's a good chance both find the net again. Recent results: Reading 1-3 Brentford, Brentford 3-1 Reading, Reading 0-3 Brentford.
