Reading Cardiff City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The bet we recommend for this match is the triumph of the Reading ensemble. In addition to playing at home, Jaap Stam'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 sides are fighting for different goals, as Reading is in the top positions and Cardiff is at the bottom of the leader board. In this way, we believe that Cardiff will offer some resistance in the start of this meeting, however, and packed by their public, Reading must win the 3 points without major problems.

The Reading class remains in the top ranks of the English second division, however, lost some distance to the second of the competition. It is important to point out that the team had two consecutive defeats until the last round, when they defeated Fulham 1-0: Beerens made the only goal of the match. Usually Dutch coach Jaap Stam will line up a very offensive team, drawn in 3-5-2, with Beerens and McCleary being the most offensive references: the second player stands out in the finals, having scored 8 goals in this championship. One of the great valences of the handlers is in the ability to create danger through the flanks, however, the defensive line has committed some serious failures and this penalized Reading in some meetings. Daniss Rakels, Harriott, Meite and Quinn are absent from this match due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Ali Al-Habsi, Chris Gunter, Liam Moore, Paul McShane, Joey van den Berg, Danny Williams, Liam Kelly, John Swift, Roy Beerens, Yann Kermorgant, Garath McCleary.

Unlike their opponents, the Cardiff team is going through a critical period in this championship and struggling to get out of the last standings in the league table. It is important to note that the visitors only have 2 wins in 11 games played in this condition. One of Cardiff's most serious problems this season is the finalization of the plays created, especially in the last few days. Coupled with this is the fact that his killer has been recovering from injury a few games in a row: Anthony Pilkington is Cardiff's best finisher with 7 goals conceded. Looking at the Neil Warnock team, it is possible to note that Gunnarsson is a cornerstone in the squad: in addition to being the fourth player with the most minutes on the squad, Icelandic is vital in the defensive and offensive process. With the exception of the player mentioned above, the outdoor trainer has all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Allan McGregor, Lee Peltier, Jazz Richards, Greg Halford, Sol Bamba, Sean Morrison, Joe Ralls, Aron Gunnarsson, Junior Hoilett, Rhys Healey, Kenneth Zohore.
Coach: M. Hudson.
