Bristol City Reading betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 19^th position of the league, with 44 points won, after 10 wins, 14 draws and 18 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Norwich City, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Brentford, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 16 points in away matches and 28 points at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 31 goals conceded at home, against 18 goals scored and 32 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Reading has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (9 out of 21 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 42 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 19 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 21 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Reading come to this game motivated after a 2-1 home triumph over Brentford: Meite, in the first half, scored twice in the match. Like the opponent of this round, Reading usually play in 5-3-2, where the two most advanced players are Barrow and Meité. When the visitors invest in the offensive process they usually do so through the left aisle, taking advantage of the depth offered by left-back Blackett. It is probable that in the most central zone of the field play Ejaria, Baker and Rinomhota. Coach Jose Gomes will not be able to count on Ezatolahi and Obita for being injured.
