Reading remains at the lower part of the table of the English second division, however, still out of the relegation zone. Usually the dutch coach Jaap Stam lines up an offensive team, drawn in 3-5-2, with Beerens and Barrow being the most offensive references: the second player stands out in the finalization, having scored 2 goals in this tournament. Some of the great adavantage of the home team is the ability to create danger through the flanks, however, the defensive line has committed some serious flaws. Evans, Watson and Obita are absent from this match due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Tiago Ilori, Paul McShane, Liam Moore, Joey van den Berg, Liam Kelly, John Swift, Sone Aluko, Sam Smith, Roy Beerens.
Coach: C. Gunter, R. Sellés Salvador.

Middlesbrough comes for the match with a 3-1 home defeat against Bournemouth from the English League Cup.

One of Middlesbrough's most serious problems this season is the finalization of the plays created, especially away from home. Analyzing Garry Monk's team, it is possible to note that Assombalonga is an iportant piece in the team: besides being the fourth player with the most minutes on the squad, the Englishman is the best scorer with 6 goals scored. For this game the outsider coach has all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Darren Randolph, Cyrus Christie, Fábio, Daniel Ayala, Ben Gibson, Grant Leadbitter, Stewart Downing, Jonathan Howson, Marcus Tavernier, Britt Assombalonga, Martin Braithwaite.
Coach: K. Hellberg.
