Sheffield Wednesday vs Reading Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in FA Cup Predictions
Both of these sides are struggling for consistency in the Championship but are battling it out this Friday for a place in the last sixteen of the FA Cup. Wednesday are currently 17th in the table, one place and three points above their opponents. They are quite the draw experts with 11 so far in the league and it took them two games to get past Carlisle United in the third round of this competition. Wednesday come into this game having not conceded in their last four matches and that includes games against promotion chasing Sheffield United and Cardiff City. They are an improving side at present with a four-game unbeaten run as before that, they had lost five out of six. Home form has seen them win four league games out of 14 but six have been drawn. Reading are just below Wednesday in the table and only four points above the relegation zone They beat Stevenage in the third round but that is the only game in their last five in which they have scored, including an initial goalless draw with Stevenage. Reading have been sliding down the table with no wins in their last eight league matches A bet on under 2.5 goals in this match looks the best bet.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Reading Prediction
Both of these sides could face a relegation battle if they don't get back in winning ways soon. They get a weekend off from those worries with this cup tie but it's hard to pick a winning considering their inconsistencies. What we do know is that their recent games have in the main seen few goals scored. Wednesday are strong defensively at present and Reading finding it hard to score, so the best bet is on under 2.5 goals to be scored.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
