Betting on Reading
In its most recent match, Reading lost 1-0 to Cardiff City. Although Cardiff had most of the chances during the match, it was not until the 90+4th minute that Romaine Sawyers was able to break the match’s even score. Reading’s defense and goalkeeper Joe Lumley put in a great effort and did the best they could.
The team managed by Paul Ince is ranked in 16th place in the Championship with 41 points attained in 12 wins, 5 draws and 15 losses. For this new Reading vs Blackpool clash, the Royals are expected to get back to their winning ways, as they have just achieved one win in their last five matches played, and so they must be eager to taste victory once again.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Joe Lumley; Scott Dann, Naby Sarr, Amadou Salif Mbengue; Tom McIntyre, Nesta Guinness-Walker, Mamadou Loum, Tyrese Fornah, Junior Hoilett; Femi Azeez, Andy Carroll.
Betting on Blackpool
The Blackpool team currently occupies the 23rd place in the Championship standings. Michael Appleton’s team has 7 wins, 10 draws, and it has been defeated on 16 occasions so far this season.
In the last five matchdays, the Seasiders have only managed to get one win, so they will surely come to this Reading vs Blackpool match looking to bounce back from the two difficult matchdays they have gone through, and also looking to climb positions in the standings, considering they are in the relegation zone.
In the its last away game against Blackburn Rovers, the Blackpool tem lost 1-0. The match was settled in the first 31 minutes, and the orange team did not shoot directly at the opponent’s goal at any time.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Chris Maxwell; Curtis Nelson, Callum Connolly, Dominic Thompson, Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel; Kenneth Dougall, Sonny Carey, Ian Carlo Poveda, Morgan Rogers, Charlie Patino; Jerry Yates.
JefeBet Prediction
Taking into account its last results, we believe that the home team will win this Reading vs Blackpool clash. Despite being unstable for several matchdays, Ince’s team has some unbalancing players, who are capable of complicating things for any opponent.
However, Blackpool will be going all out in this match, as it finds itself in a very difficult position and attaining the three points could guarantee that the team would climb up a position in the standings.
Prediction: Reading win 1-0.
