Reading F.C. have suffered another defeat lately, this time they opposed their direct rival for survival. The dismissal has surely played its role, the ‘Royals’ possessed in ten as well, however, but failed to convert their advantage anyhow. In this season, actually, the team mostly struggle in creating chances despite their advantage. In outings, Reading have scored only 1 goal in 5 latest fixtures. Their regular defense fails make the situation worse. In the above mentioned clash with Millwall, Reading allowed yet before the dismissal. Thus, the guests cannot keep their goal locked within 6 consecutive games.
Queens Park Rangers are deservedly considered favorite in today’s afternoon encounter. Reading have been bleak, failing to win in 8 rounds in a row. Their losses in defense worsen their position – Blackett and Bacuna got red cards in the meeting with Millwall. Moreover, the ‘Royals’ played ‘to nil’ in only 2 Championship matches of 24, and it will be challenging for them to hold off the hosts’ attack without their key defenders. All the more, the Londoners were effective in 7 latest home fixtures, 5 of those registered at least 2 goals. On their turf, Rangers got 7 wins, only Norwich and Leeds United count more. Reading racked up only 8 away points of 36 possible. Given that the guests failed to beat the opponent at home, they will hardly succeed to get any points in their London trip as well.
Prediction for the match: Queens Park Rangers F.C. to win home.
