Albion make the trip to Reading to take on the Rams who are currently 8th in the league and 12 points ahead.
Rams started the season well winning 6 of their first 7 fixtures including taking 5 points away from The Brickfields. Since then, their fortunes have reversed losing 4 of the last 6.
Whilst sporting the 2nd best defensive record in the league they have the third worst record for scoring.
Looks like key to stopping them is preventing scoring lineouts, so again discipline will play a significant point. The other threat will come mainly from the wings. Another factor is that the Rams are much stronger in the first half.
A game that Albion could win, despite the difference in league position, provided Albion play to their potential and keep their discipline, but their propensity to go off script will be their downfall.
Prediction: A narrow win for the Rams in a low scoring game.
Weather: Dry and overcast. Cold but only a light breeze.
