Recent respective form guides
Reading are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 7 to 5.
The away form of Plymouth Arg. is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Pilgrims have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Reading are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 50 points from 30 games. Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 33 points from 30 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The current home form displayed by Reading is obviously none too clever, but, with the current standing of Plymouth Arg., I firmly believe this match can only produce a victory for the Royals. Home Win
