Fulham take on the visitors Reading at "Craven Cottage" in the matchday 42 of the English Championship. The game will be played in London on Tuesday, April 10th.
Fulham have been showing phenomenal football in the second half of the season. It's already clear that “The Cottagers” have already guaranteed themselves a place in the top-six, however, it's not enough as the club's goal now is to gain the second position which would give the side a direct pass to the Premier League. At the moment Fulham are two points behind Cardiff which have a spare clash in reserve. However, Cardiff will face tough opponent on the road in this round, namely Aston Villa in Birmingham. Thus, "The Cottagers" have good opportunity to reduce the gap in case of a triumph which means Fulham has great motivation in the upcoming tackle. Apart from this, the forthcoming hosts currently stay in perfect conditions, having got 13 victories and three draws in 16 recent battles which is the best result for this period in the Championship. The side has also deserved six wins and single draw in seven latest matches conducted in front of its supporters. In general, Fulham collected 11 triumphs and seven draws in 20 home encounters played within the Championship.

In their turn, Reading have completely failed this season as the side is only five points away from the relegation zone now, having gained 19 defeats in 41 clashes conducted. The team participated in three tackles under the rule of the new head-coach Paul Clement, having succeeded in two of them. “The Royals” have broken Preston and QPR at the home pitch and lost 0:3 to Aston Villa on the road. Reading haven't tasted a victory across five latest away battles in a row, having failed in four of them. In general, the club recorded 10 defeats in 20 games conducted on the road and this result is among the eight worst ones in the Championship. Thus, I don't expect much from their upcoming visit to London.
Fulham have not been beaten across four recent head-to-heads against Reading hosted at "Craven Cottage", having got three victories and a draw in them. As long as "The Cottagers" are on a good pace now, being on the hunt for the second place, I believe that they won't face any problems in the forthcoming encounter against poor Reading.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
