"However, making an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they secured an action-packed 3-2 victory away at Norwich, the Red Dragons have won three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure on August 26th as they secured another pulsating 3-2 win against Preston, the one-time Bolton boss will now be calling on his squad to find some crucial defensive steel."
"As for the visitors, although Reading might have got proceedings underway last month with their sights set on clinching a play-off ticket, the Royals find themselves in a similar position to Tuesday's opponents. Despite securing a 2-1 victory at home against Leyton Orient over the weekend, Noel Hunt's men have failed to register consecutive League One victories so far this season. Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with back-to-back 2-0 losses against Lincoln and Huddersfield, Reading have shown their own defensive issues."
Wrexham have won three of their previous four matches but continue to concede frequently, including shipping at least two goals in seven of their last eight fixtures. Phil Parkinson's side recorded 3-2 wins at Norwich and Preston but suffered a 3-1 home loss to QPR, illustrating a pattern of high-scoring, open games. Reading have failed to string together consecutive League One victories and began the season with back-to-back 2-0 defeats. The Royals have managed only one clean sheet in eleven appearances and have displayed notable defensive issues across competitions, suggesting both teams are prone to conceding.
