Burton Albion vs Reading Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

In League One action, Burton Albion met Reading on January 28. Burton Albion emerged victorious with a 3-2 win.

The turning point came on the 10th minute when Rumarn Burrell converted the chance, giving Burton Albion the lead. Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Michael Craig and Sam Smith added to the score, while Burrell struck one more time, setting the final scoreline at 3-2.

As Burton Albion and Reading square off once more, the memory of Burton Albion's 3-1 win in their League One meeting from 7 months ago still lingers. With victories over Rotherham and Wigan, Burton Albion is on a roll, extending their unbeaten streak to three matches. Their winning form has come with a cost though, as their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in nine consecutive home matches.

Reading, in contrast to their opponent's recent successes, are in a poor form, preparing for the match after three consecutive losses against Leyton Orient, Stockport and Burnley, extending their winless streak to four games. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last three matches in a row.

In this League One showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Burton Albion and Reading throughout the campaign. Burton Albion’s top finisher Danilo Orsi and Rumarn Burrell have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Gary Bowyer at the helm, remains effective. Orsi leads Burton Albion’s scoring charts in League One this season with six goals, as Dodgson continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with four assists. Supporting them are Udoka Godwin-Malife, Ben Whitfield and Tomas Kalinauskas, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Burton Albion’s attack.

Meanwhile, Reading’s attacking options, with Noel Hunt steering the side, have been bolstered by Charlie Savage and Harvey Knibbs, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Smith has emerged as Reading’s leading scorer in League One this season, netting ten goals, with Savage leading their creative tally in the league with nine assists. Reading’s offense has also been strengthened by Lewis Wing, Ben Elliott and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
