Bristol City head into Wednesday's clash with Reading without a win in three while the visitors are finding themselves plummetting down the league.
The Royals are winless in nine and have conceded eight in their last two matches as they boast the joint-worst defensive record alongside Peterborough.
City appeared to have found some momentum following the 2-2 draw at Preston but that was quickly quashed following a defensive nightmare in the 3-1 defeat at Blackpool on Saturday.
