Recent respective form guides
Derby County's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Rams have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Reading's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Royals have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Derby are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches. Reading are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 4 points from 2 games.
