Swansea City Reading betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game places two teams that arrive very motivated to this round and for this reason a very balanced match with chances of goals is expected. On one hand, Swansea has a quality squad, on the other, a very dangerous Reading on the counterattack. Another important information is the high average of goals scored by the teams in these conditions. That said, and taking into account all these factors, betting in favor of the "Over 2 Goals" market is a good option.

Preview
Swansea City and Reading face at Liberty Stadium, in a match for the 22th round of the Championship. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 5 matches they won 4 and tied 1. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 22‑07‑2020, and ended in a (1‑4) win by Swansea City. Swansea City registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Swansea

The home team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 39 points won, after 11 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Barnsley, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Queens Park Rangers, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 7 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Swansea City has a record of 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 21 points out of 30 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 7 home matches for this competition. There are a few recurrent results in their home matches: at half‑time 1‑0 (5 out of 10 matches) and after the 90' 2‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 10 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Swansea comes motivated for this round after a victory, by 0-2, in the trip to the field of QPR, making it the second triumph in a row in this competition: the goals of the team were signed by André Ayew and Jamal Lowe. The local emblem usually plays in a 3-5-2 tactical system, favoring fast transitions, mainly through the wings. In this tactical drawing, the two most advanced players are André Ayew and Jamal Lowe: the second athlete is the best scorer with 8 goals. The home coach should not be able to count on Morgan Gibbs-White and Geroge Byers for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Freddie Woodman, Ben Cabango, Jake Bidwell, Ryan Bennett, Marc Guehi, Jamal Lowe, Matt Grimes, Korey Smith, Jay Fulton, Connor Roberts, André Ayew.
Coach: R. Martin.

Analysis Reading

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 36 points won, after 11 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Brentford, by (3‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Luton Town, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 9 wins and 6 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Reading has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Reading enters this match with a 2-1 victory against Luton, putting an end to the two consecutive failures in this English second division: the team's goals were signed by Alfa Semedo and Tom McIntyre. The visiting team usually plays in 4-3-3, favoring a more relaxed playing style, attacking through the central corridor. The three arrows aimed at the goal of the "enemy" will be Ovie Ejaria, Sone Aluko and Sam Baldock, with the player responsible for defining and conducting his team's attacks being Josh Laurent. The visiting coach cannot count on Omar Richards, George Puscas, Lucas Joao, Andy Yiadom, John Swift, Felipe Araruna and Yakou Meite, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Michael Morrison, Tom McIntyre, Tomás Esteves, Thomas Holmes, Josh Laurent, Alfa Semedo, Michael Olise, Andy Rinomhota, Ovie Ejaria, Sam Baldock.
Coach: N. Hunt.
