Both teams are on three points in Group P, but the visitors will be looking to make it two wins on the bounce in the competition.

Reading are without a win in their last two matches across all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat to Cheltenham in the EFL Trophy, while they have won just one of their last four competitive games, a 2-0 victory over Fleetwoood Town in the FA Cup first round.

A 3-1 victory over West Ham United U21 in their opening game of the EFL Trophy has helped Reading occupy second position in Group P, giving thema superior goal difference over third-placed Newport, who are their next opponents.

Newport have not had the best start to the season, as they are currently 15th in the League Two standings with 19 points after 15 matches, and they are without a win in their last three games across all competitions.

Nelson Jardim’s side have also won just one of their last seven matches across all competitions, losing five, including the most recent two.

The Exiles also started poorly in the EFL Trophy with a 2-1 home defeat to Cheltenham, but they bounced back with a 1-0 away win over West Ham U21, and will need to dig deep to build on the victory.
