Stevenage Reading betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The two teams have no motivation to play defensively, as they aim to return to good results. On the one hand, Stevenage wants to surprise in the FA Cup, aside from the fact to play at home; on the other hand, Reading no longer wins for a few consecutive matches and wants to return to triumph this season. So, and taking into account these factors, we think that risking the goals for both sides is of great value.

Preview
Stevenage and Reading meet at The Lamex Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 29‑07‑2014, and ended in a draw by (0‑0). Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Stevenage

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round) after having played in the previous rounds against: Swindon Town and Nantwich Town. 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 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the League Two, they got a home win against Cheltenham Town by (4‑1). In the last 10 home matches Stevenage has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 21 of the last 31 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Stevenage comes for this match after a 4-1 triumph against Cheltenham, returning to triumphs after two consecutive defeats in the championship. We recall the home team currently plays in the fourth English division. In this home match, the coach Darren Sarll should play in the usual 4-2-3-1 with Matt Godden being the most offensive team reference. On the other hand, Danny Newton is the great highlight of Stevenage with 9 goals and 3 assists. For this match, the coach can count on the usual players.

Confirmed Lineup: Tom King, Ronnie Henry, Joe Martin, Ben Wilmot, Jonathan Smith, Jack King, Tom Pett, Ben Kennedy, Mark Mckee, Danny Newton, Matt Godden.
Coach: S. Evans.

Analysis Reading

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home loss against Birmingham City by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Reading has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 14 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (61'‑75'); they have conceded 7 of their 18 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Reading comes for this match after a home defeat against Birmingham, by 0-2, continuing in this way without a win in the English second division. We should point out that visiting team hasn’t won for six straight matches. This match against Stevenage will be an ideal match for Reading to gain some motivation. In this away match, the coach Jaap Stam should play in 4-3-3, profiting from his usual position and keeping up the good work. Recall the great highlight of the visiting team is the right winger Modou Barrow with 7 scored goals. It seems the coach won’t count on Obita, Quinn and Sam Smith, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Anssi Jaakkola, Joey van den Berg, Omar Richards, Paul McShane, Tiago Ilori, George Evans, Leandro Bacuna, Liam Kelly, David Edwards, Garath McCleary, Modou Barrow.
Coach: N. Hunt.
