Swansea hosts Reading in round 22 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 30th at Liberty Stadium (Swansea)
A few years ago, the Swans won the cup and took part in the Europa League. But in 2018, the club left the Premier League. The first two attempts to win a new ticket to the elite British division were unsuccessful. However, the Welsh team is currently among the best in the English Championship. Only Norwich was able to score more. 39 points in 21 matches played is a decent result for Swansea. The team managed to gain three victories in the last four rounds. Truth be told, there are enough ambitious pursuers behind, and Bournemouth is higher in terms of lost points. In general, the Swans need to at least not slow down.

Reading finished in 14th place last year, that is, it didn’t fight for another promotion to the Premier League. The management invited Veljko Paunovic, a former Serbian footballer who had previously worked as a mentor only with Chicago Fire in the North American MLS. However, any skepticism disappeared after a powerful start – the Royals gained seven victories and a goalless draw with Middlesbrough in the first eight meetings. Truth be told, the team didn’t manage to extend such a positive streak. It suffered four defeats in a row at the end of October and the first half of November. And there were enough misfires then. Just recall that three of the last five matches in the Championship also ended with defeats. But after a 2-1 victory over Luton, the Royals managed to take 6th place. Moreover, they are only one victory behind Swansea, which is in second place, and they can gain it just in the upcoming head-to-head meeting.
For Swansea, Reading has long been a very convenient opponent. The Royals gained their last victory back in 2008. There was one draw in the last season, and Swans could call it a misfire because four previous matches ended in a victory for the team from Wales. Now the Welsh will again host an opponent with whom they usually manage to take the maximum. We will bet on another victory of the Swans.
Prediction for the match: Swansea to win
