Reading are looking to reignite their push for promotion after a stuttering run of form lately

Beleaguered Reading will look to revive their Championship campaign against bottom side Wycombe Wanderers when they go to Adams Park on Tuesday.

Fifth in the table with 15 wins and six draws from 31 games, the Royals have lost some ground in their push for a direct promotion to the Premier League.

Losing three of their last four games has allowed the likes of Watford and Swansea City to steal a march over them in the race. Meanwhile, Bournemouth are looking over their shoulder, two points adrift.

Reading started the season brightly, going unbeaten in their first eight games and winning seven in the process. They've struggled for consistency ever since, and now have a real challenge on their hands.

However, they will be relieved to see their next assignment is against a side at the foot of the table who look doomed to go into League One.

With just four wins from 30 games, Wycome have had one of the worst seasons by any side in recent Championship history. They're 11 points adrift of safety and hold the distinction of conceding the most goals in the division with 51.


Wycombe Wanderers vs Reading Head-To-Head

In 13 meetings between the sides, Reading hold a vastly superior record. They have nine wins against Wycombe, who have beaten them only twice in history.

In fact, the Royals are currently on a four-game winning run against the Chairboys, which includes a 1-0 home win earlier this campaign.
