----------------------------------
The International Club Friendly between Reading and Swindon Town is scheduled for July 15, 2025, at 19:00 local time (18:00 UTC) at Bearwood Park Training Ground, Reading, England. This behind-closed-doors pre-season match pits Reading, a League One side aiming to build momentum for the 2025-26 season, against Swindon Town, a League Two team looking to improve their away form under Ian Holloway.
Reading Review
Reading, managed by Ruben Selles, finished the 2024-25 League One season in mid-table (exact position unavailable), with a focus on youth development and squad stability. Their 4-2-2-2 formation features Charlie Savage, Harvey Knibbs (3 goals in 2023 EFL Trophy vs Swindon), and new signing Sam Smith. Reading’s home form in 2024-25 was solid (est. 1.8 points per game), with a 5-0 thrashing of Swindon in the 2023 EFL Trophy (October 10, 2023) as a highlight. Recent friendlies include a 2-0 win over QPR (July 5, 2025), but five players were absent in a recent match, raising concerns (@LukeUTD). No major injuries reported, though squad rotation is expected. Probable XI: Stevens; Ryan, Burns, Stickland, Jacobs; Savage, Elliott; Knibbs, Garcia; O’Mahony, Tuma. Recent form (all competitions): WLDWW.
Swindon Town Review
Swindon Town, coached by Ian Holloway, ended the 2024-25 League Two season in the top half (exact position unavailable), collecting more points than most since January 2025 (only four teams earned more). Their 4-3-3 formation relies on Miguel Freckleton’s defensive growth and Jake Young (nominated for August 2024 League Two Player of the Month). Swindon’s away form was a weak point (est. 1.0 points per game), with a 0-0 draw vs MK Dons (May 3, 2025) as their latest competitive result. A friendly against Swindon Supermarine is scheduled for July 5, 2025, indicating a busy pre-season (@AdverSport). No injuries reported, but Holloway is testing new tactics. Probable XI: Bycroft; Freckleton, Minturn, Glatzel; King, Clarke, McEachran; Young, Drinan, Cain. Recent form: DWWLD.
Prediction: Reading 3-1 Swindon Town
Reading’s home dominance (5-0 vs Swindon in 2023) and stronger squad (Savage, Knibbs) give them an edge, despite Swindon’s improved form since January (top 4 points in League Two). Swindon’s away struggles (1.0 points per game) and Reading’s friendly win over QPR suggest the Royals will control possession. Swindon’s Young and Freckleton could pose threats, but Reading’s depth and H2H record (3W in 5) favor them. A competitive, goal-heavy game is likely, with Reading capitalizing on home advantage.
