AP Sports Preview: Reading at Rotherham United

ROTHERHAM, England (Interstat) — Rotherham United hosts Reading on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in a League One matchup featuring two clubs trending in opposite directions.

Rotherham (0-2-4 in its last six) enters the game at AESSEAL New York Stadium after a 2-0 loss to Luton Town on Tuesday. The Millers have managed only one win in their past four outings — a 2-0 victory at Leyton Orient on April 18 — and have been shut out in three of their last four. Recent defensive struggles have plagued the side: a 3-0 loss to Wigan Athletic and a 3-1 defeat to Barnsley underscore their inconsistency.

Reading arrives having lost three straight, including a 3-1 defeat to Cardiff City last Saturday. The Royals sit with mixed form in recent outings, with a 1-0 loss to Doncaster and a 1-0 defeat to Stevenage among their recent setbacks. However, Reading has shown offensive flashes this season, including a 3-0 win over Wigan and a 3-2 victory at Luton Town.

The clubs played to a 1-1 draw in their most recent head-to-head meeting Nov. 22 in Reading.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Reading’s next match is May 2 against Blackpool. Rotherham travels to Wycombe Wanderers on the same date.
