Norwich vs Reading Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Norwich City parted company with head coach Dean Smith after their latest defeat at Luton Town. That left them fifth in the Championship but only above visitors eighth placed Reading on goal difference City have lost their last two league games and are 12 points behind the second and final automatic promotion spot. Despite being in one of the play-off positions, they are only three points above Swansea City (who they beat this month) who are 16th in the table. Steve Weaver and Allan Russell are in temporary charge and the next three Norwich games are all at home. They face Reading and Watford this week and then a home FA Cup tie against Blackburn Rovers. Norwich have only won one of their last seven home league games after winning the four played before their form began to slump. Four of those seven games have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them.
Reading are in the better form of these two clubs with three wins in their last four league games. Since the season resumed, they have had two wins but both were at home. That included a 2-1 victory over out-of-form Swansea City on December 27. However, they lost 3-2 at Birmingham on December 23 going three goals down inside the first 36 minutes. Reading are only outside the promotion play-off positions on goal difference but they need to improve their away form. While they have the second best home record in the Championship (eight wins), they possess the 23rd best away record with eight losses in 12 games. Only one of their last seven away league games has been won (at relegation-threatened Hull City) with four points earned. They have scored four goals in their last two on the road with both teams scoring in five of the last seven away league fixtures. Go for that stat to come up here.
