Reading have a decent home record against Brighton, despite some indifferent results in recent years.
The Royals have met the Seagulls 82 times in total, winning, 28 times in total. Brighton have also triumphed on 28 occasions with the other 26 fixtures ending all square.
Reading and Brighton historically are two evenly matched teams, yet when the Royals have been at home - as they are tomorrow - they have traditionally dominated.
The Seagulls have played in Reading 41 times - and have lost on 19 occasions.
Even though the Royals historically have dominated at home to Brighton, the Seagulls are yet to lose at the Madejski Stadium.
Berkshire-based Reading lost against Brighton last time the two sides met at the Madejski Stadium back in April of last year.
The Seagulls, who were then managed by present Reading-boss Steve Coppell, raced into a two goal lead before Jamie Cureton pulled one back.
However, earlier that season (Nov 2002) a John Salako goal had given the Royals a narrow 1-0 victory at the Withdean Stadium.
Brighton have visited the Madejski Stadium on just one other occasion, Saturday 9th March 2002. The Royals battled hard for a point on that afternoon as both sides fought for promotion from the old Second Division (now League One).
Whilst Brighton went onto secure the Championship, and Reading could manage only second, the Royals had the upper hand the following season, finishing fourth in the First Division with the Seagulls finishing in the bottom three.
