Reading vs. Oxford United Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Reading vs. Oxford United

Des Buckingham aims for his inaugural league victory as Oxford United boss when they take on Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Tuesday. The hosts, currently in the relegation zone, seek a response following their weekend loss to Barnsley.

After concluding last month with back-to-back league wins, Reading’s December started with varied outcomes in cup competitions. Despite an FA Cup exit at the hands of fifth-tier Eastleigh, the Royals rebounded with a penalty shootout triumph against Charlton Athletic in the EFL Trophy.

However, their success in the EFL Trophy didn’t translate to Saturday’s home league clash against Barnsley. Despite taking an early lead through Harvey Knibbs in the first four minutes, the Royals were unable to secure a victory.
