Reading take on the visitors Swindon in a group stage match of English Football League Trophy. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 10th at Select Car Leasing Stadium (Reading).
Reading dropped out of the Championship not due to sporting reasons, and their problems haven't disappeared. The Royals haven't been making waves in the Premier League for a while, but they remained stable in the Championship. They would still be there if not for the deduction of 6 points due to financial violations by the owners. These problems have only worsened, and the hope now rests on the potential new investors that were talked about in September. It's not surprising that in such circumstances, after moving to the lower division of League 1, the team's performance has been quite erratic.

Swindon are a unique team. Throughout their history, they have only once, in the 1993/1994 season, risen to the top division of the country, where they set numerous anti-records. However, the Reds have a full League Cup title in their museum from 1969. Currently, they have gained momentum and, after finishing 10th in the last season, are among the leaders in League 2, averaging about 2 points per game. Interestingly, they were eliminated from the League Cup by their first opponent, Peterborough, on penalties. They want to get rid of any additional burdens and focus all their efforts on the battle for League 1.
In the last 20 years, there have only been a couple of friendly matches won by Reading. Both clubs have other priorities, for various reasons and motivations. We can use under 3.0 goals for betting in this tournament.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
