Birmingham vs Reading Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Eighth placed Reading can move into the Championship play-off positions if winning at 14th placed Birmingham City. However, a win for Birmingham will see them go ahead of Reading on goal difference. City aren't in good form coming into this game. They have only won one of their last five league games. Their first match since the season resumed saw them draw 0-0 at Blackpool. That's the third Championship match of the last five that has ended with the scores level. City are five points adrift of the final promotion play-off position but the same number above the relegation zone. Home form this season has seen Birmingham win only three of their 11 Championship fixtures. Five of those matches have been drawn. Only one of the last five at St Andrews have been won.
Reading are two points behind sixth placed Preston. They have won 10 league games this season but lost ten as well with just two draws. They have been closing the gap on the top six thanks to two successive league wins. Reading came from behind to win at Huddersfield in their final match before the World Cup break. When the season resumed, they continued their winning run with a 1-0 home win over Coventry City. They certainly needed those two wins as they'd only earned five points from their previous nine league matches. Away form for Reading has produced only ten points and that's the 22nd best record in the Championship. The win at Huddersfield ended a run of five away league games without a win. They've only scored eight away goals in their 11 away matches played in the Championship this season. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
