Cardiff – Reading, Championship Prediction

Cardiff are close to the top six, but we do not consider them a serious contender for these positions, given that they draw so many games. At home City have only 1 loss since the beginning of the season, which makes them a tough host. In the last round, they proved to be the latest team to win over West Brom. Cardiff have problems in attack, as their creativity is not particularly great and in many cases teams close well against them.

Reading is a team of surprises. At the moment, the Royals have 4 straight games without a win, but so far this season they have managed to outperform teams such as Fulham, Preston, Millwall and even Cardiff in the first match, which ended 3-0 for Reading. It all comes from their style of playing, which is comfortable against teams like Cardiff and we expect a great deal of difficulty for the hosts even now, as in the first game.

 Expert view : Here, one of our predictions, if we had to choose from the 2 teams, would be X2, but there is also a considerable chance for Cardiff to win. Therefore, we will trust the goals, and more precisely the lack of goals. We do not think that there will be many goals for the simple reason that Cardiff have a solid defense, and Reading will try not to allow the opponent to create chances, but rather try to be effective in the few situations in which they have the opportunity. Prediction – Under 2.5 goals at 1.80.

In six consecutive games, Reading had under 2.5 goals
