Betting on Reading
Reading come into this match having suffered a painful 5-0 defeat to Middlesbrough, and are beginning to reel as this is their third loss in the last five matches and their 16th loss of the season. It has lost 47.05% of its matches in 34 matchdays, while winning 13 and drawing five.
The local team registers the third-highest number of defeats and this is due to their poor defensive performance, as together with Wigan they are the teams with the highest number of goals conceded with 53, averaging 1.55 goals conceded per game. Their advantage in this duel is that they will be playing at home, where they have won 10 of 16 matches, and are currently undefeated in six games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Joe Lumley; Amadou Salif Mbengue, Scott Dann, Naby Sarr, Tom McIntyre; Cesare Casadei, Jeff Hendrick; Yakou Méïté, Thomas Ince, Junior Hoilett; Andy Carroll
Betting on Sheffield United
Sheffield United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn in their matchday 34 clash, failing to reduce the gap with leaders Burnley. They are currently in second place with 64 points, after 19 wins, seven draws and eight losses, leaving them 13 points off the top. A further drop could jeopardize their position, and a third place does not secure direct promotion to the Premier League.
Although they have proven to be a very consistent team, showing balance in their lines and being the second-best defense of the campaign, their recent away performances have been difficult. To make matters worse for the visitors, they are coming into this game without a win in their last four away games.
On rival soil, they have conceded 15 of the 31 goals conceded this campaign. That has resulted in 12 of their 17 away games finishing Under 2.5.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Wesley Foderingham; Chris Basham, John Egan, Jack Robinson; Jayden Bogle, Sander Berge, Oliver Norwood, Thomas Doyle, Max Lowe; Iliman Ndiaye, Oliver McBurnie.
JefeBet Prediction
Reading has already lost to the first and third place teams in the standings and will face the second place team here. The current situation of both teams makes it difficult to trust the home side, but also the fact that the first time they met this campaign, Sheffield Wednesday won by a score of 4-0. The visitor has the advantage and will be the favorite in this encounter.
Prediction: Sheffield United wins by a score of 3-0.
