There could be little between top-six hopefuls Reading and Mansfield when they meet in Berkshire in League One on Sunday.
Reading are just two places and three points better off than Mansfield in the current table. Reading are sixth with ten wins, four draws and seven losses, while Mansfield are eighth with nine wins, four draws and seven losses.
Mansfield are going for a third successive League One win but Reading’s recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six games.
Reading have yet to draw at home in the league this season but that could change on Sunday. A 1-1 draw looks like a viable correct-score option.
