Northampton vs Reading Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Northampton faced Reading in the League One of England on April 12. They played out a 0-0 draw.

The spotlight turns to the field where the upcoming meeting sees Northampton and Reading prepare to meet again, 4 months after the previous League One encounter which Reading won 4-1. Northampton come into this match fresh off a victory over Peterborough United in League One on April 5. Still, their backline has lacked consistency, conceding goals in their last nine home matches in a row.

Reading, fresh off a series of two wins against Shrewsbury and Wycombe Wanderers, approach this match eager to continue their positive form just like their oponents. For all that, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in four consecutive away matches.

This League One encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Northampton and Reading throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Northampton’s attacking options, with Kevin Nolan steering the side, have been bolstered by Cameron McGeehan, the team’s top scorer, and Mitchell Pinnock, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. McGeehan has already scored nine goals in League One this season, while Pinnock remains their top assist provider in the competition with seven. Adding further support are Sam Hoskins, Tom Eaves and Tarique Fosu, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Reading’s offensive unit, crafted under Noel Hunt’s leadership, has leaned on Harvey Knibbs, their main scorer, and Charlie Savage, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Reading’s top scorer in League One, Knibbs, has fourteen goals this season, while Savage remains their top assist provider in the competition with nine. Lewis Wing, Sam Smith and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
