Chelsea vs Reading FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Women's Super League

Prediction published on 10/12/2022, 01:10  by Nella Wagah in Women's Super League Predictions

Chelsea Women FC’s winning run was brought to a stop by Real Madrid Women in the Champions League. They will be looking to return there when they play host to Reading in the Women’s Super League at Kingsmeadow. This game finds the two sides on opposite ends of the league table, with Chelsea at the top on 24 points while Reading are 10th on the 12-team table with seven points. Chelsea are coming from a 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid, and are unbeaten in 12 matches. All the 11 matches preceding the Real Madrid draw ended in wins, and ahead of this one, they have three clean sheets in the last five league matches. Chelsea’s last league outing ended 8-0, thrashing bottom of the table side Leicester City. In each of their last four league matches, Chelsea have scored in excess of two goals and the same is the case in four of their last five home matches.

Reading are coming from a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the league. That was their second straight win after beating Southampton in the League Cup earlier. This is the spirit they want to carry into this game, and the fact that they’ve kept clean sheets in the two matches comes as a boost. However, they aren’t that great defensively. In the three matches that came before these two wins, they conceded three goals in each. In six of their last 10 matches they have conceded two or more goals and they will fit in well as underdogs here, going by their run against Chelsea. Reading have managed just one win in the last five meetings with Chelsea, and in their four losses to Chelsea in that run, they conceded three or more goals.
