On Tuesday, Reading will play Swansea City at the Madejski Stadium in the second round of the EFL Championship. After a good start to the season, the home team has had some problems, but they still hope to make the playoffs. The previous time they played Birmingham City, they lost 3-2.
They were three goals behind when Lucas Joao and Thomas Ince scored late to make up the difference. With 32 points from 23 games, Reading is 12th in the league and hopes to improve that this weekend. Swansea City is trailing in the promotion race after a difficult run of form in recent weeks.
Be that as it may, they played out a completely exhilarating 3-3 draw against Coventry City last break, with Joel Pirone, Jay Fulton, and Liam Cullen getting on the scoresheet in the last 25 minutes of the game to upset a three-objective shortage. The visitors have also scored 32 points this season. However, they are one spot ahead of their midweek rivals in the league table, and a victory on Tuesday will help them close that gap.
