Federici confident Reading can take first playoff leg

Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici is confident about Friday night's (BST) Championship playoff first leg.

The Australian gloveman and his Royals teammates host Cardiff City at Madejski Stadium for a chance to progress to the Premier League promotion playoff and he feels that although it will be a tough contest, he has the belief that Reading can put themselves in a strong position ahead of the return leg in Wales next weekend.

"Every time we have played them it has been a tight affair and it will be tough," he said. "But I think we have the squad to do it and the team we put out will be very strong.

"There's a great spirit here, that's one of the great things about Reading," he added. "We've been tough to beat all season and hopefully that will be the same in the play-offs as well."
