Goal Statistics

Bromley's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday afternoon, not least because Reading have conceded in each of their last 6 League Cup games. A PG of 1.6 for A. Woodman's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been an issue for Reading of late. It has been 6 League Cup games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday afternoon against Bromley.
