Reading vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 13/12/2020, 09:12 by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 13/12/2020 at 10:12 in Championship Predictions

Reading are fifth in the Championship and can go to within one point of leaders Norwich City if winning this home game against them. The home side have had a strange season to say the least. Few saw them as promotion challengers but they began their season with seven wins from the first eight league games. Then their form collapsed with a run of four successive league losses and with 13 goals conceded (compared to three in the first eight). They led the table by five points at one stage but then slipped down to sixth before recovering their form. Only one of their last six league fixtures has been lost (a home defeat by Birmingham) with 11 points earned. The weekend saw Reading leave it late to get a 1-0 win away at QPR. Their 89th minute winner saw them finish the weekend in fifth place, four behind leaders Norwich. At home, Reading have won six and lost three (perhaps a draw is due?) with both teams scoring in two of the last three. There's no shortage of goals either with five of the last six having over 2.5 goals scored in them (the other one had two goals scored).

Norwich City are bidding to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. The weekend saw the league leaders win 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers. Teemu Pukki is such an important player for them and he scored both their goals on Saturday. Those were his first goals since scoring twice at Stoke City on November 24. The victory on Saturday was their third straight league win since a 3-1 loss at Luton Town on December 2. Each of those three wins have been by a 2-1 scoreline. Away form for the Canaries is the best in the Championship with six wins out of nine with one draw and two defeats. Four of the last five have been won and both teams have scored in six of their last seven on the road. This should be an exciting game and the tip is for both teams to score, a side-bet on over 2.5 goals looks a winner too.

Our Reading vs Norwich Prediction

Norwich City lead the Championship by three points after the weekend fixtures. With this game being played on Wednesday, a Bournemouth win over lowly Wycombe will see the south coast side climb above them on goal difference. Just a point will guarantee Norwich go into the weekend before Christmas top of the table. This isn't going to be an easy game for them though. You struggle at times to work out what Reading will do next. Their form has improved since that terrible run a while back. Norwich City had a surprise loss at Luton Town at the start of this month but have bounced back well since then. Keeping clean sheets isn't their expert subject though and the tip here is for both teams to score.
