Wrexham Vs Reading Performance stats

Editorial Prediction:

The upcoming EFL Cup match is set to take place at the Racecourse Ground, Wales, on Tuesday, 23rd September 2025. This match promises to be a battle as both teams, Wrexham and Reading, have locked horns previously with each team securing one victory and no draws in their last two encounters. The latest fixture on the 11th of March 2025 saw Reading triumph with a 2-0 win at home.

Heading into this matchup, both teams will be looking to rebound from recent defeats. Wrexham suffered a 1-3 loss to Queens Park Rangers, while Reading narrowly lost 2-3 against Barnsley. Central to Wrexham's attacking play is Ollie Palmer, their leading goal scorer with two goals this season. Reading will have to keep a close eye on him. Conversely, K. Doyle is crucial for Reading's playmaking, as he holds the highest number of assists for them this season.

When comparing top player ratings, Wrexham boasts Ollie Palmer with an outstanding rating of 9.7, followed by James McClean at 8.2, and Kieffer Moore with a 7.8. Reading, on the other hand, features Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan at 7.8, Liam Fraser at 7.65, and Kami Doyle at 7.5. Such ratings highlight the key individuals likely to influence the match.

In terms of possession statistics, both teams have an average of 43% this season. This could result in a balanced contest. Additionally, Wrexham averages six corners per match whereas Reading has an average of four, which might play a part in the dynamics of the match. When examining disciplinary records, Wrexham has accumulated a single yellow card, without any red cards or penalties conceded. Reading, however, has two yellow cards with similar clean stats on penalties and red cards.

Taking all performance metrics and past head-to-head results into account, the evenly matched past suggests a closely fought contest. However, with Wrexham playing at home and their attacking threat in form, they might have a slight edge. It will be crucial to watch how Reading responds, especially considering their previous victory over Wrexham. On these stats, Wrexham is positioned as the narrow favorites to triumph.
