Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stevenage will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Reading in the League One round 27. The Boro are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are surely capable of beating the Royals in front of home fans. The good news for the home side is that Nathan Thompson returns from suspension, while Forster-Caskey is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Royals, meanwhile, are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but given the number of important players that left the club in the January transfer window, home win should be considered. The likes of Tom McIntyre, Nelson Abbey, and Caylan Vickers are no longer part of the team, while Tom Holmes faces race against the clock to be fit for Tuesday’s encounter. In the first half of the season Reading defeated Stevenage 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (Stevenage):
Based in Hertfordshire, England, Stevenage Borough are a professional club that compete in the League Two. The Boro are well known for their red and white home hit, while dark blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Stevenage play their home games at Broadhall Way, the stadium which can hold up to 6,722 spectators and they were founded in 1976.
The Boro have won FA Trophy on two occasions (2006/07, 2008/09), with the team clinching the Herts Senior Cup title in the 2008/09 season thanks to a 2-1 win over Cheshunt. Luton are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
In 2015 fighting broke out between rival fans near to the end of the clash at the Lamex. It has to be noted that Stevenage Borough were founded in 1976 after the bankruptcy of Stevenage Athletic.
