Middlesbrough vs Reading Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 02/03/2023, 17:02 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 02/03/2023 at 18:03 in Championship Predictions

Middlesbrough's hopes of automatic promotion suffered a blow last week with a defeat at West Brom. They remain third in the Championship and host Reading who are down in 14th. Boro had been on a long unbeaten run before last weekend's defeat and are now seven points behind second placed Sheffield United and played a game more. It's looking like securing their play-off position is their main aim now. Going into the weekend they are five points clear of seventh placed Norwich City. Middlesbrough have won their last six home league games with only two goals conceded. In all, they have won nine of their 16 home league fixtures this season with only two defeats.

Reading are in the bottom half of the table but with no relegation worries. They begin the weekend ten points behind the final promotion play-off position with a game in hand. They had been closer but only seven points have been earned from their last five league matches. Their most recent game saw them get a 3-1 home win over relegation-threatened Blackpool. That was their fourth home win in six league games but any hope of progress up the table is being undone by their away performances. Reading have lost their last four away fixtures and not scored in any of them. Overall, Reading have played six away Championship matches since their last win. 17 away games have produced just 11 points this season and only Huddersfield Town have a worst record on the road. Back Boro to get the win in this match.

Our Middlesbrough vs Reading Prediction

Middlesbrough can bounce back from the loss at West Brom last weekend. That was their first league loss since January but their home form is solid at present and they can get another home win. Reading are struggling to get back into the promotion race and it's their away form which is their undoing. No wins or goals in the last four and just three away successes all season. Our Middlesbrough v Reading prediction is a a home win with a side bet on it being to nil.

Middlesbrough wins the match
