Reading vs Northampton Town Prediction & Betting Tips - League One
by Nella Wagah | in League One Predictions
Two straight home matches to close 2024 should boost Reading off the back of a poor run in recent matches. The Royals are set to host Northampton Town in a League One match on Thursday. Read on for our prediction of the match. Reading are seeking a first win in five matches. After flying high in recent times, the last four outings have been humbling for Reading. In that period, they were eliminated from the EFT Trophy, and only collected a point from a possible nine in the league. Their latest two league matches ended in defeat without scoring. They fell 2-0 to Lincoln City right after a 3-0 defeat at home to Blackpool.
While Reading are kept off the top six by goal difference, Northampton Town are above the drop zone by two points. It hasn’t been a great run for them in recent matches, winning just once in the last 10 matches. Six times in those 10 matches, they failed to score and they are coming from their biggest defeat in that period. At home to Charlton Athletic in the last game, Northampton Town were blanked 5-0. That was the third straight defeat they suffered and they failed to score in all. In Northampton’s last five away matches, they only managed one goal.
