Reading vs Brentford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
Reading hosts Brentford as the two Championship sides focus on the promotion race. Hosts Reading are fourth in the standings with 48 points while Brentford, placed second have so far managed 54 points. Both teams have done well lately and carry four-match unbeaten runs here. Reading are coming from a 0-0 draw with Stoke City, which served their third clean sheet in the last four matches. It was also the third time in five matches that their matches hit under 2.5 goals but nine of their last 10 home matches have produced over 2.5 goals. They have lost just once in the last eight matches and have three straight home wins going to this clash. In their last 10 home matches, Reading have scored two or more goals in six, but they have just three clean sheets at home in the 10 matches.
Brentford go to this game with three straight wins, the most recent being 4-1 against Middlesbrough in the Championship. They have a game in hand and a win here will take them top of the Championship table after Norwich’s loss to Swansea on Friday. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have one clean sheet in the last 10 matches. They have failed to score in only two of their last 15 matches. In the last five matches, Brentford have scored 16 goals and conceded nine. Ivan Toney has been their key man, with six goals in the last three games and he is the league’s lead scorer with 22 goals.
