Watch Reading v Preston NE live streaming on TV

Friday night football returns as Reading welcome Preston North End to the Madejski Stadium.

Only two points separate these sides in the table and with both eying the playoff places there’s plenty to play for tonight.

This fixture has not been very kind on the visitors in recent years, as they won just one of their last nine encounters with Reading.

Can Preston improve that record here, or will Paul Ince and his Reading side continue their impressive home form?

Here’s how to watch the Reading v Preston game on TV tonight.

Is the match on Sky Sports tonight?

Yes. The Reading FC v Preston NE match is the featured game on Sky Sports Football tonight and is on channel 403. You will require a paid subscription to watch the game.

Reading played out a goalless draw with Luton Town in their midweek fixture a few days ago; they were by far the dominant side, and were unlucky not to take all the points.

Paul Ince’s men have not enjoyed their best run of form recently; they’ve managed one win in their last seven games, with two draws and four losses.

On the positive side, most of those losses were on the road; Reading have been one of the best home teams in the Championship, winning six of nine matches at home.

With that in mind, Paul Ince’s men are currently 11th on the league table; they’ve amassed a total of 26 points from 18 league matches.

Reading will hope to improve their poor run of form, and it’ll be interesting to see how they’ll fare against this Preston side.

Preston North End, on the other hand, are coming off a hard-fought victory over Swansea City; interestingly, they only kept 28 percent of the ball, but were able to win by a lone goal.

Unlike tonight’s opponents, Preston have enjoyed some fine form in recent weeks; they are coming off back-to-back wins, with three wins in their last four matches.

With nine points obtained in their last four games, Preston have gone up to ninth on the Championship table; they are two spots above Reading, with 28 points from 19 league matches.

As Ryan Lowe’s men make the trip to the Madejski Stadium, they’ll look to string up three consecutive wins in the Championship for the first time since May last year.

Reading are the bookies’ favourites here, which makes sense considering they tend to play well against Preston, coupled with their solid home record.

However, it’s important to note that Reading have struggled to win games lately; they suffered four losses in their last six games, winning just one of their last seven.

In contrast, Preston North End have three wins in their last four matches; they have also been one of the best road teams in the Championship.

On that note, we believe that Preston will take at least one point from this game; this can be backed at 1/2 odds.
