Betting suggestion:

The bet we recommend for this match is the Cardiff do not miss. Despite playing away from home, Neil Warnock's pupils have a good time in the championship and have more arguments compared to their opponents. It is important to note that the two teams are fighting for different goals, as Cardiff are in the top positions and Reading at the bottom of the league table. In this way, we believe that Reading will offer some resistance at the start of this meeting, however, risking the Cardiff draw tie is of enormous value.

Reading's side start with a 1-3 victory over Sunderland, adding to their fourth straight win without losing in the league: Barrow (2) and Edwards scored. Usually dutch coach Jaap Stam will line up a very offensive team, drawn in 4-2-3-1, with Kermorgant being the most offensive reference. On the other hand, Barrow is Reading's top scorer with 5 goals scored. One of the great valences of the homemakers is in the ability to create danger through the flanks, however, the defensive line has committed some serious faults and this penalized Reading in some meetings. Obita, Evans and Quinn are missing from this match due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Chris Gunter, Paul McShane, Liam Moore, Joey van den Berg, Leandro Bacuna, David Edwards, Sone Aluko, Liam Kelly, Yann Kermorgant, Modou Barrow.
Coach: N. Hunt.
