Fulham hosts Reading in round 26 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 1st at Craven Cottage (London)
The Cottagers show their best results at home, playing at Craven Cottage with extremely good goal statistics, but Fulham is very unpredictable this season! It can beat the leaders or fiddle with an outsider for a long time. In the last seven games, the team that was predicted unconditional leadership did not concede only once. The hosts have obvious problems in defense. And not only now. It is visible for the whole season. Otherwise, it is not clear how the team can concede three goals from an outsider in the person of Luton Town. Play attacking football without really worrying about defense won’t bring results in the game with Reading. Bookmakers’ coefficients for the victory of Fulham are generally understandable. I do not want to take risks.

Reading gained simply perfect momentum. Firstly, the visitors have not conceded for four matches in a row. They won three times. The last defeat with a difference of more than one goal was recorded just in the game with Fulham, but now this is not the same Reading that was before. The team managed to not only move away from the relegation zone; now it’s even closer to the first six. Yes, maybe the rivals were not so strong, but Bowen has a very qualified defensive line due to which the Royals can create huge problems for any rival. Yes, Fulham is another matter, but the visitors are the best team of the Championship according to the results of the last five rounds.
I see something in between. It seems that the victory of the Cottagers is predicted, but such Reading can compete... even for victory. The visitors are extremely disciplined and never give up without a fight. And they have not lost for four away rounds in a row. I don’t think that they will lose with bog goal difference.
Prediction for the match: Reading to win with +1.0 handicap
