Reading vs Brentford: Predictions and Betting Tips

Reading to push for automatic promotion

Reading is on a seven-match undefeated run and they climbed to the fourth position after a series of great results in the league. They had a strong start to the season, then a shaky November but are back in form in time for the final third of the season.

Their last defeat was to their Wednesday’s opponents but have improved since then defensively conceding only three goals in seven matches. The Royals will have to improve from their last match against Stoke where they had just one shot on target as it finished 0-0.

Brentford

A win in this match will see Brentford go top of the table after Norwich lost to Swansea last friday. The Bees have won three consecutive matches and are in great form going into this very important match.

Their matches have seen a lot of goals all season and with 52 goals scored they are way ahead of the other teams as the most scoring team.
