Stoke City Reading betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be for both teams to score at least one goal. It is certain that a balanced encounter is expected, however, the two teams have played very positive football, with several goals scored in the last games. Stoke should show more interest in getting out of the irregular moment they are going through, however Reading can also show its quality. It should be noted that the "Both teams to score - Yes" market has won in the last four Stoke games.

Preview
Stoke City and Reading meet at Bet365 Stadium, in a match for the 28th round of the Championship. Stoke City got an away win by (0‑3), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 07‑11‑2020. Oddly enough, the head‑to‑head record favours Stoke City: in the last 5 matches they won 1 and tied 4. Stoke City registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Stoke

The home team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 38 points won, after 9 wins, 11 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Watford, by (1‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Huddersfield Town, 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 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 10 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 24 conceded. For the league, Stoke City won 16 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑0 (5 out of 13 matches). They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 27 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Stoke comes to this match after a 1-1 away draw at Huddersfield. The hosts usually play in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring fast transitions, mainly through the wings. In this tactical formation, the three men who will occupy the most central area of the land are John Mikel Obi, Joe Allen and Jordan Thompson. It should be noted that Stoke presents many difficulties in finalization the opportunities it manages to create. Coach Michael O’Neill should not be able to count on Rhys Norrington-Davies and Ryan Shawcross, the first through suspension and the second through injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Angus Gunn, Morgan Fox, Nathan Collins, Danny Batth, Harry Souttar, Sam Clucas, James McClean, Joe Allen, John Mikel Obi, Steven Fletcher, Jack Clarke.
Coach: M. O'Neill.

Analysis Reading

The away team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 47 points won, after 14 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Preston North End, by (0‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against AFC Bournemouth, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 10 wins and 5 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Reading has a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 13 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 26 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Reading comes to this performance motivated after a beautiful home triumph, by 3-1, against Bournemouth: Laurent, McIntyre and Lucas João, still in the first half, scored the winning goals. Like the opponent of this round, Reading usually plays in a 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are Michael Olise, Lucas João and Ovie Ejaria. The visiting club, when investing in the offensive process, usually does so through the left aisle, so that it can take advantage of the quality of the left-winger Omar Richards. It is likely that Andy Rinomhota, Josh Laurent and John Swift will play in the center of the field, with the latter gaining prominence in the organization of his team's game. Coach Veljko Paunovic should not be able to count on George Puscas for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Michael Morrison, Tom McIntyre, Thomas Holmes, Omar Richards, Josh Laurent, Michael Olise, Andy Rinomhota, Ovie Ejaria, John Swift, Lucas João.
Coach: N. Hunt.
