Reading Rotherham United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The scenario that best suits this game is Reading's triumph. In this match, we believe that the ''Royals'' will dominate and enjoy the best chances to score goals, since they are going through a very positive phase and because they have weapons of enormous quality. In addition, Rotherham's lack of weapons and pressure to return to victory will be crucial to the outcome of this game. Having said that and taking into account these factors, we believe that betting in favor of Reading's victory in this game is of enormous value.

Preview
Reading and Rotherham United meet at Madejski Stadium, in a match for the 7th round of the Championship. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 23‑02‑2019, in a match for the Championship, they tied (1‑1). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Reading

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 16 points won, after 5 wins and 1 draw. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Middlesbrough, by (0‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Wycombe Wanderers, by (1‑0). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. Reading has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 6 matches. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 1 of the last 6 matches, and their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Reading's team enters this game motivated after returning to Championship triumphs, by beating Wycombe 1-0 at home: Lucas João was the great hero when he scored the only goal of the match. Now, on this round against Rotherham United, mister Veljko Paunovic must maintain his usual tactical system, the 4-3-3, with Lucas João being the team's most offensive reference and Michael Olise being responsible for organizing and creating the offensive process. It should be noted that the home team has competence in possession of the ball and offensive organization. Out of this game are Andy Yiadom, Felipe Araruna, John Swift and Sam Baldock, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Michael Morrison, Liam Moore, Tomás Esteves, Omar Richards, Andy Rinomhota, Josh Laurent, Yakou Meite, Alfa Semedo, Ovie Ejaria, George Pușcaș.
Coach: N. Hunt.

Analysis Rotherham

The away team is currently in the 16th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Norwich City, by (1‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Nottingham Forest, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Rotherham United has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 6 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition.

The Rotherham United team starts this match with a draw, to a ball, in the trip to the Nottingham Forest ground, adding in this way the sixth consecutive encounter without winning in this competition: Dan Barlaser made the only goal of the team. In this match against the championship leader, coach Paul Warne should favor the low middle block and counterattacks, exploring the space in the opponent's back in the best way. It should be noted that the visitors have some flaws in dead balls, finishing and maintaining ball possession. For this match the visiting coach cannot count on Angus MacDonald, punished, as well as Chiedozie Ogbene, player who is recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Jamal Blackman, Michael Ihiekwe, Joe Mattock, Richard Wood, Wes Harding, Shaun MacDonald, Ben Wiles, Jamie Lindsay, Daniel Barlaser, Michael Smith, Florian Jozefzoon.
Coach: S. Evans.
