 Reading - Bristol City  Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 
  
The 2020/21 season in the championship could not have started better for the Royals. Under the new coach Veljko Paunovic there were a total of 22 points for Reading FC in the first eight games, with the only points left in the away draw in Middlesbrough (0-0). Since then, however, the aspirant has not found the path to success.

Reading FC have lost four times and drawn one draw in their last five games. In the table, the Royals slipped to sixth and thus last place in the table for the promotion playoffs. To ensure that the starting position in the championship does not deteriorate any further, a groundbreaking six-point game will be played on matchday 14.

Veljko Paunovic's team will receive the guests from Bristol at the Madejski Stadium at home. As the odds comparison of the betting base shows, Reading is slightly favored against Bristol according to odds. Despite the form crisis, we find a prognosis for the Royals by no means absurd, after all, at the beginning of the season it was impressively shown how much potential there is in the team.

In contrast to Reading FC, the form curve at Bristol City recently showed up. The Robins have remained undefeated in their last four games, scoring ten out of a possible twelve points. Last week, Robins in good shape drew against the Premier League relegated team from Watford.





 
 
  

Reading FC has lofty goals this season. The Royals want to participate in this year's promotion race and have set the course for this with a promising start to the season. Veljko Paunovic's team led the championship up to the eleventh matchday, but since then things haven't been going smoothly at the Biscuitmen.

There have been four defeats in the last five games. The current bankruptcy series was only ended with a draw at Millwall on the previous day of the match. Nevertheless, the Royals have now slipped to sixth place in the table and are already under pressure to win on matchday 14. The pursuers are sitting close to the neck.
 
After two away games in a row, the Royals have home rights again on Saturday. The most recent record at the Madejski Stadium shows how important the home advantage is for Paunovic's team. In the championship Reading FC have a record of 4-0-2 in six home games. Both defeats occurred in the last two home games.

The home bankruptcies were always surprising, because the Royals did not concede a single goal in the four home wins before. Anyway, compared to the strong start to the season in recent weeks, the defense was particularly vulnerable, which is also made clear by the statistics. After all, 14 of the 17 goals conceded in the last five games were accepted.
 

 
 
 
 


The Robins are moving into the fast lane and overtaking the league competition. With twelve points in the last four games, Bristol City climbed from ninth to third place in the table. Now the form should also be underpinned with the direct promotion competitor from Reading. For the difficult away hurdle, a lot of self-confidence was already replenished on the last match day.

Bristol City got an important point in the home game against Watford, the Premier League relegated last season, and even kept the clean slate. However, it was already proven in the weeks before that the defensive bulwark of the third in the table should not be underestimated. After all, there has only been one goal against in the last four games.
 
The latest defensive statistics are definitely praiseworthy, as Mawson and Baker are two promising defenders on the Robins' injury list. Head coach Dean Holden will also have to do without Williams, Walsh, Weimann and Diedhiou for the away game in Reading. The latter is currently in quarantine, which is why Holden will be forced to rotate at the top.

However, major changes compared to last week are not to be expected. So far, Bristol City has only lost the away game against AFC Bournemouth. It is quite possible that the Robins will further expand their strong away record (4-1-1) on Saturday.
