Barnsley vs Reading Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

In League One action, Barnsley meet Reading on September 13, with a 14:00 kickoff in UTC.

4 months after their last match in League One, Barnsley and Reading meet again. In their last face-off, Barnsley secured a 2-4 win. Following their win against Peterborough United in League One last Tuesday, Barnsley head into this clash with renewed confidence, extending their unbeaten streak to ten matches. However, their defense has shown cracks, conceding goals in their last ten home matches in a row. Barnsley have several key matches to navigate before facing Reading though, including Stevenage, Huddersfield and Wimbledon in League One and Rotherham in League Cup, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Reading.

Reading approach this clash having drawn with Bolton yesterday. Their upcoming schedule leading up to Barnsley includes Northampton, Port Vale and Wycombe Wanderers in League One and Wimbledon in League Cup, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Barnsley. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in nine consecutive matches.

This League One encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Barnsley and Reading throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Adam Phillips and Davis Keillor-Dunn have been pivotal for Barnsley’s attack, with Conor Hourihane at the helm, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Keillor-Dunn has already scored two goals in League One this season, with Phillips topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Adding further support are Caylan Vickers, David McGoldrick and Jonathan Russell, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Reading’s leading scorer Andre Garcia and Kelvin Abrefa have played significant roles in the team’s attack, crafted under Noel Hunt’s leadership, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. In League One, Garcia has been Reading’s standout scorer with one goal, as Abrefa continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with two assists. Reading’s offense has also been strengthened by Lewis Wing, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan and Tivonge Rushesha, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
