Reading vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Reading had a 3-3 thriller against Derby County on Saturday and start this game 18th in the table and only four points above the relegation zone. They take on eighth placed Sheffield United who can climb back into the play-off positions with three points from this trip to Berkshire, The two teams have conceded 84 goals between them in the Championship this season so a bet on a goalless draw isn't going to be suggested for this match, Reading have already lost 15 league games this season and have gone four matches without a win. Home form is a major problem for the Royals with no wins in their last six and just two in the last 14, They have conceded at least twice in five of their last six home games, not good stats considering their opponents have scored 46 league goals this season United are two points adrift of the play-off places and this is their game in hand. Earlier in the season they'd been in the top two but have only won three of their last nine games with two of them being at home Away form for United has seen them win just one of their last seven as their challenge for a second successive promotion falters. A difficult game to predict considering both sides are in less than impressive form so a bet on over 2.5 goals in the game looks the safest bet, especially with Reading having such a poor defence.

Our Reading vs Sheffield United Prediction
Reading need the points to avoid getting dragged further into the Championship relegation battle but after this game travel to league leaders Wolves, so they need something from this game, They have defensive problems though but did put three past Derby at the weekend. Sheffield United aren't that great on the road at present and this looks like being a game that has over 2.5 goals scored in it
