Stoke vs Reading Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
Reading are fourth in the Championship but may well find a bit of a gap between them and the top three. They travel to Stoke City who are down to 11th in the table. Before this game takes place, the top three all play matches. At the time of writing this article on Wednesday afternoon, Reading are a point behind Brentford in third and three adrift of Swansea City. Wins for Brentford and Swansea (who host leaders Norwich on Friday) would see Reading four points behind the top three. Of course, the top three could all get bad results and Reading can end the weekend in a strong position if winning at Stoke. It's an important game for them therefore. Reading are yet to lose in the Championship this year and are unbeaten in their last six league fixtures. Their most recent game saw them beat out-of-form (and just sacked their manager) Bournemouth. Away form for Reading has seen them lose just one of their last seven league matches with five away wins.
Stoke City are in tenth but that's only four points behind the final promotion play-off position. A much healthier situation than last season when they had to battle relegation. The fact that they are 13 points above the bottom three means they don't need to worry about going down to League One. Their current form isn't that great though with no wins in their last seven matches in the Championship. A form guide for the last ten league games has them down in 19th place, compared to fifth for their opponents. Of those ten games, only one has been won but seven have ended level, Their last six away league games have all been drawn. Home form is a problem for Stoke with three of their last five league games being lost. They last won at home on December 19 but since then they have just a single point from three games, plus a hammering by Leicester City in the FA Cup. Reading know that if they want to win automatic promotion, they need to keep on the tails of the top three. They can do that with an away win here.
