A History of Reading V Nottingham Forest Clashes

Forest have won 50% of their clashes against Reading, compared with Reading's 28% success record. So the Royals will have to upset the historical odds if they are triumph tomorrow.

However, the validity of these statistics has to be called into question as the two teams have met just four times since in the past half century.

In the past four meetings between the two teams the City Ground side have again held the upper hand, winning two of those games and drawing once. However, perhaps crucially, the one Reading won was the most recent game against Forest, on Good Friday earlier this year.

Andy Hughes scored the only goal of the game late in the second half as Pardew's side came out on top after a pulsating night of football at the Madejski Stadium. You Can Read Our Report From That Game Here.

However, the other showdown between Reading and Nottingham Forest last season ended with Forest victorious. David Johnson and Marlon Harewood scored the goals as the Royals were easily defeated 2-0 at the City Ground. You Can Read Our Report From That Game Here.
