Reading have secured their place from the relegation zone as they are in the middle of the standings. The Royals have recorded 13 wins, 12 draws and 15 defeats in the 40 matches this season. They have scored 45 goals and conceded 46 ones. Reading are 14th in the league with 51 points earned. In their last 5 matches the Royals have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats including loss to Birmingham City last game.
We should mention Middlesbrough have been struggling to beat Reading since 2013. Let’s recall the Royals managed to beat Boro 2:0 in the first game earlier this season. Middlesbrough will surely try to extended their winning streak by beating the visitors and get the best use of opportunity to take the first spot.
Prediction: Middlesbrough to win.
