Reading and Rubin are going to face each other in a friendly match in Ilz on Friday, July 20th.
Last season Reading totally failed. In the spring of 2017 the team had been close to return to the Premier League and the year after they were close to go down to the EFL League One. The Royals were able to have only 44 points to their credit and a 48-70 goal difference after 46 matches. They finished on the 20th place with a 3 points handicap from the relegation zone. This summer Reading have been continuing their anguish with 2 losses (1-2 to Eastleigh and 2-4 to Wimbledon) and 2 draws (0-0 against Fulham and 2-2 against Besiktas) in the friendly fixtures.

Rubin had a good finish to the last season in their championship having a 7 straight matches no-loss streak. They finished the year on the 10th place. This summer the Stones have had 5 friendly matches (a 2-0 win over Proleter, a 0-1 loss to Radnik, a 1-0 win over Admira, a 0-1 loss to Hajduk and a 1-0 win over Maccabi Petah Tikva). It is worth noting that all of the 5 matches had low total.
The teams have never faced each other before. Considering Reading is in a bad shape at the moment and that the Russian Premier League is starting soon Rubin should beat their opponents. Furthermore the Russian guys have better physical conditions at the moment.
Prediction for the match: Rubin to win.
