Stockport have enjoyed the better results in recent meetings, winning two of the last four encounters against Reading.
The most recent meeting took place in early January of this year, when Reading secured a narrow 1-0 home victory thanks to Lewis Wing's late goal.
Interestingly, neither of the last two meetings produced more than two goals, suggesting that Saturday's encounter could be relatively low scoring.

Reading team overview
Reading are also in contention for a return to the EFL Championship, sitting inside the promotion play-off places ahead of this fixture.
However, their away performances remain a concern. Reading have failed to score in four of their seven away league matches this season, including recent goalless draws against Plymouth and a 2-0 defeat to Oxford United.
There have nevertheless been some encouraging performances, particularly their emphatic 5-0 FA Cup victory over Peterborough United. Jack Marriott has also been their leading goalscorer this season.
George Earthy has been listed with a foot injury, although his availability remains to be confirmed. No other definite absences have been established ahead of Saturday's encounter.

Prediction
Although both teams have demonstrated decent attacking quality this season, Reading's struggles away from home and the relatively low-scoring nature of recent head-to-head meetings suggest a more cautious encounter. Under 2.5 goals looks like a reasonable selection.
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 Goals
- The last two head-to-head meetings between Stockport and Reading have produced under 2.5 goals, ending 1-1 and 1-0.
- Reading have struggled offensively away from home, failing to score in four of their seven away league matches this season.
- With both teams competing for promotion, a relatively cautious and tightly contested encounter could be expected, limiting clear-cut goalscoring opportunities.
