Reading vs Swansea Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
Reading’s chances of promotion are getting slimmer with every game in the Championship and they will hope to keep them alive when they host Swansea on Sunday. The hosts are currently seventh, with 68 points and face fourth placed Swansea who have 76 points so far. Reading’s chances grew slim in the last eight league games as they managed just one win. Not even the five draws in the process were enough for them to keep their top six place as Bournemouth burst in with great form. They have one clean sheet in the last eight matches and being six points off the final playoff slot, they can’t afford to drop any more points. They’re coming from a 0-0 draw with Luton Town and earlier had to score a last minute goal to salvage a 1-1 draw with Cardiff. In the last five matches, Reading have dropped points against fellow promotion contenders Barnsley and Watford. In only one of the last five matches have Reading scored more than a goal, while they have failed to score completely in two of the last three. It will be harder going to the final stages, with top scorer Lucas Joao out with a shoulder injury. Reading will however bank on a good run at home in recent matches, being unbeaten in the last five and having scored nine goals in the three wins and two draws.
Swansea have been limping lately, and their 1-0 loss to QPR in the last game badly dented their automatic promotion hopes. They need a draw in this game to secure their playoff place. The team is on a run of five losses and two wins in the last eight Championship matches but hasn’t conceded heavily in recent matches. In the last eight Championship games, they’ve have conceded more than a goal in just one. Just like Reading, they will be without their leading scorer, Andre Ayew, who is struggling with a hamstring injury. In his absence though, Jamal Lowe is expected to lead the charge after scoring four goals in the last four matches. Swansea have two straight away wins in the Championship and will be hoping they can better the performance in December when they drew 0-0 with Reading.

Our Reading vs Swansea Prediction
Reading have scored more than a goal in just one of their last five matches, and the fact that lead scorer Lucas Joao is injured will be felt. Swansea will also be without their top scorer, Andre Ayew. Yakou Meite and Jamal Lowe for Reading and Swansea respectively, have stepped up with key goals lately but the duo’s absence remains massive. Reading have a good run at home lately and Swansea have done well away in recent matches and in light of the stakes going to this game, a tight tussle is expected. We will go with a draw here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
