Reading Sheffield United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this game will be Sheffield United winning. We admit that this match will be very disputed, with some moments of the game closed, however, it is expected that the away team will have more initiative in the game due to its collective quality. In addition, Reading is in a bad moment in the competition and does not have enough weapons to beat this opponent. Given this we believe that betting in favor of Sheffield United in this match is the best option.

Preview
Reading and Sheffield United meet at Madejski Stadium, in a match for the 21th round of the Championship. There are only 2 recent head‑to‑heads between these two teams: on 27‑02‑2018, which ended in a (1‑3) win by Sheffield United, and another on 21‑10‑2017, which ended in a (2‑1) win by Sheffield United. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Reading

The home team is currently in the 21th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 4 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Leeds United, by (1‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Stoke City, by (2‑2). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 7 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Reading has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 8 of the last 10 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Reading arrives at this game with a 2-2 draw against Stoke City, registering the fourth straight game without winning in this competition: Moudou Barrow and McNulty scored the team's goals. In this home game manager Paul Clement should maintain his usual tactical scheme, that is, the 4-3-3, being McNulty the team's most offensive reference. On the other hand, Meite is the main highlight so far with 6 goals scored. The defensive set pieces and the aerial game are some aspects that have caused headache to the Dutch coach. For this game the manager can not count on Bodvarsson, Obita and Edwards, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Anssi Jaakkola, Chris Gunter, Tiago Ilori, Tyler Blackett, Andy Yiadom, Leandro Bacuna, Andy Rinomhota, Josh Sims, Garath McCleary, Daniel Loader, Marc McNulty.

Analysis Sheff Utd

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 10 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Brentford, by (2‑3). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Leeds United, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Sheffield United has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Sheffield United heads to this game with a 0-1 defeat to Leeds, putting an end to the three straight games without losing in the league. Normally coach Chris Wilder plays in a 3-5-2, privileging ball possession and organized plays through the aisles, especially on the left: Stevens offers a great depth to Sheffield United. On the other hand, Billy Sharp is the player who stands out so far with 10 goals scored. There are no weight absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Dean Henderson, George Baldock, Enda Stevens, Jack O'Connell, Chris Basham, John Egan, John Fleck, Oliver Norwood, John Lundstram, Conor Washington, David McGoldrick.
Coach: C. Wilder.
