Cardiff City Reading betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Cardiff should assume all the expenses of the match and take advantage of some defensive failures to reach the goals, since they have a quality squad. On the other hand, Reading should look only for the counterattack, a transition that will not pose much danger to the opponent. We emphasize that the home team only lost 1 match at their stadium, that is, it is expected that the good results will continue. That said, and given these details, betting in favor of Cardiff's victory is a good option.

In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Birmingham City, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against West Bromwich Albion, by (2‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium.

In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 14 matches).

In 29 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Cardiff heads into this game with a 2-1 home win against West Bromwich, returning to triumphs after two official games without winning: the goals were signed by Paterson and Lee Tomlin. On this round against Reading, coach Neil Harris should benefit from maintaining possession of the ball and organized attacks, however, in some moments of the game he should only risk on the counterattack. Lee Tomlin is the player that deserves to be highlighted in this team with 6 goals scored. Out of this game are Mendez-Laing, Vassell and Joe Ralls, players who are recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Alex Smithies, Joe Bennett, Jazz Richards, Callum Paterson, Sean Morrison, Curtis Nelson, Will Vaulks, Marlon Pack, Lee Tomlin, Junior Hoilett, Gavin Whyte.
