Reading hosts Blackburn in round 34 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 2nd at Madejski Stadium (Reading)
Reading is generally holding a decent season. The odd-looking bet on Velko Paunovic (a Serb who played mainly in LaLiga and coached in the American MLS) has led to the team stepping up noticeably. And now the Royals feel quite confident in the zone of the participants of the additional playoffs. There was an outright failure (four defeats in five rounds) in February. Fortunately, Morrison scored last Saturday and brought victory to his team. But we should remember that the Royals beat Rotherham, which is languishing in the relegation zone. Will Reading manage to continue its winning streak?

Blackburn was the champion of the country in 1995. It was a loud sensation, something like the relatively recent triumph of Leicester. Beyond that, the Rovers won the League Cup in 2002 and were considered as the middle peasants of the Premier League. Many remember that unyielding team of Big Sam Allardyce. But then the Indians from Venky's London Ltd quickly brought the team to the Championship. In 2017, Blackburn was relegated to League 1 but returned from there pretty quickly. However, now Blackburn Rovers is a simple middle peasant of the second tier of English football. In the last draw, Tony Mowbray's men finished in 11th place. There were chances to repeat those results. But after a good segment in January, the team went through a deep recession and lost five games in a row. Only last Saturday the Rovers managed to gain a draw with modest Coventry.
Blackburn won both head-to-head matches in the previous season (2-1 away and 4-3 at home). But in October, Reading took revenge by beating its opponent with a 2-4 score. Yes, Reading did not shine in February. But Blackburn looks even worse, so will we bet on the victory of the Royals, insuring ourselves with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Reading to win with 0.0 handicap
