Form

The Royals come into this match as the Championship's best home team, winning their two matches in RG2 against Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.

After a heavy 0-4 defeat to Rotherham United last Saturday, Paul Ince's team bounced back to become the first team to take points off of Rovers- beating them convincingly 3-0 on Wednesday.

Teessiders Middlesbrough sit in 20th with three points- picking up three draws.

Yet to win, they have also only lost once- less than Reading.

Boss Wilder took the North-East side to seventh in the Championship and knocked Tottenham out of the FA Cup, but have had a slow start to the 2022/23 campaign.
