Reading vs. Barnsley Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Reading and Barnsley, taking place on Saturday, 03 May 2025, at The Select Car Leasing Stadium in Reading.
Reading, Recent Form
Having secured a 2-0 away win against Bristol Rovers in their latest league match, Reading will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.
Manager Noel Hunt will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. When playing at home this season, they've notched up 9 clean sheets.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Reading, Lewis Wing will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Barnsley, Recent Form
Any Barnsley pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 home defeat by Shrewsbury Town.
Whilst manager Conor Hourihane will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 16 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 13 games overall.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Davis Keillor-Dunn is the man of the moment at Barnsley right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Reading vs. Barnsley Head to head
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Reading will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Tykes having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 11 meetings.
The last 2 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Barnsley might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 4 encounters.
