Reading Preview

The Grecians are back on the road this Tuesday, making the trip to the Select Car Leasing Stadium to take on Reading in an 8pm kick-off.

The Grecians are in fine form ahead of the trip to Reading. Saturday's 3-1 win away at Port Vale made it five matches unbeaten for Gary Caldwell's men with four wins and a draw and 13 points picked up from a possible 15. That win also moved City up to tenth in League One.

Our hosts sit in thirteenth in the league, on the same points as the Grecians, only separated by goal difference - so it's set up for an interesting encounter.

Reading picked up a 2-2 draw with Barnsley on Saturday, thanks to Jack Marriott's late strike.

To all the Grecians making the trip - we thank you for your support. Sing loud and sing proud on Tuesday night.

Previous Encounter

Exeter City 1 Reading 1 (11/10/25) EFL Sky Bet League One

Twelve games in, City were made to settle for their first draw of the season as Jayden Wareham’s goal earned a 1-1 result against Reading at St James Park.

A frantic first half saw both sides find the net inside the opening 10 minutes, with Jack Marriott’s early strike cancelled out by Jayden Wareham’s composed finish against his former club. Despite chances falling at both ends, neither team could find a winner after the break as the Grecians recorded their first draw of the season.
