Reading take on the visitors Watford at the Madejski Stadium in the 1/32-Finals fixture of the Carabao Cup. The match will be played in the eponymous city Reading on Wednesday, August 29th.
Last season Reading failed and placed 20th in the Championship. In their last five matches of the previous season The Royals did not pull off a single victory and got only two points. The team has been unsuccessful this season too so far and got only two points in the starting five tours. Overall, they have not been able to win since April 7th for whole ten fixtures. The only victory for that period has been a 2-0 win over Birmingham City in the 1/64-Finals fixture of the Carabao Cup. In their last three matches Reading drew against Aston Villa with a 1-1 score, against Blackburn Rovers with a 2-2 score and lost to Bolton with a 0-1 score.

Watford were unsuccessful in the last tours of the previous season of the Premier League as well as Reading were in the Championship. However, the Hornets have been looking quite good since the off-season. The team has had five friendly matches this summer, won three of them and drew two. Furthermore, the Golden Boys have won every of the starting three matches in the Premier League this season with an overall 7-2 score. It`s worth noting though that the team of Javi Gracia couldn`t get a victory on the away fields for thirteen matches starting from November 25th, 2017 (one draw and twelve losses). However, the team has broken that streak recently beating Burnley with a 3-1 score on the away side. In their last three matches Watford beat Crystal Palace with a 2-1 score, Burnley with a 3-1 score and Brighton & Hove Albion with a 2-0 score.
Reading are the outsiders in the Championship and Watford are the leaders in the Premier League right now. The Golden Boys will pull off a victory in the upcoming fixture almost for sure, their playing style is a lot much better than the playing style of the Royals.
Prediction for the match: Watford to win.
