Reading hosts Nottingham Forest in round 27 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, January 11th at Madejski Stadium (Reading)
Reading’s game pleasantly surprises. And if four “dry” matches in a row seemed a coincidence to many, what about the away victory over Fulham? Four consecutive victories allow the hosts to get to the first six. But the most important thing is stability. And although it is still difficult to earn points at home, the current state of the Royals, and especially concerning defensive actions, even allows us to hope for a victory over Nottingham. Moreover, Reading won four last-head-to-head games in its field.

Forest also seems to have gained shape. It won three games. The Foresters look good on the road and can show excellent football, but they are not used to acting from a position of strength. Playing defense first is more convenient for Nottingham. Only Leeds and Brentford concede less, though the Foresters are prone to disastrous streaks, often playing at the wrong level for all 90 minutes of the meeting. Yes, it is convenient to gain points with opponents who are in poor shape. But what will happen in Reading?
I don't think Reading will fall apart. Nottingham will surely play defense first and seek happiness on counterattacks. But the hosts are very good precisely in defense, and the game in the attack also improved. The match won’t be rich in goals, but a factor of the home field may become a key to success. The visitors won only two away games of the last five. I will give preference to the hosts. At least, Reading should continue its unbeaten streak.
Prediction for the match: Reading to win with 0.0 handicap
