Reading vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in FA Cup Predictions
Reading and Burnley, two sides enjoying good form, are lined up to meet in the third round of the FA Cup. The two sides will clash on Saturday, hosted by League One side, Reading. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Reading featured in the earlier two rounds of this competition, beating Fleetwood Town and Harborough Town. They have a third straight home match in this competition but the level of difficulty goes a notch higher.
Just as it was in their ending in 2024, their start to 2025 has been very positive. They are coming from a 0-0 draw with Charlton Athletic, setting up a four-game unbeaten streak.
Burnley also had a strong run towards the end of 2024 and have started 2025 in strong fashion. Heading into this game, Burnley claimed a 1-0 win. Away to fellow promotion chasers Blackburn Rovers.
They are well placed in the automatic promotion race and will want to stay longer in the FA Cup as well. Their last two FA Cup matches were disappointing back-to-back defeats – 6-0 to Manchester City and 1-0 to Tottenham.
With the challenge much manageable this time, Burnley will be targeting a fourth-round spot. In their last three meetings with Reading, Burnley are unbeaten.

Our Reading vs Burnley Prediction
Reading had to come from behind to win in extra time in their last FA Cup match against Harborough Town. Here they may find things tougher and their run against Burnley doesn’t help. The hosts will bank on their form coming into this match but that alone could prove insufficient.
Burnley are having a tremendous season and to this game, they carry a 13-match unbeaten run. It will be a shock should the visitors get eliminated here. Our prediction for Reading v Burnley is: Burnley wins the match.
