Reading vs Burnley: Top Free Betting Tips

After confirming promotion to Premier League, Burnley travels to Select Car Leasing Stadium to continue their campaign in Championship against Reading. The Royals appear in this game after suffering an eight-matches winless streak in the second division.

Match Result Prediction: Burnley to Win

Burnley has won four of the last five league affairs and ended the remaining one against Sunderland. The Clarets have also won the previous two consecutive fixtures away from Turf Moor. On the other hand, Reading have a tally of five defeats and three draws before this game. Reading has gone undefeated in the previous five H2Hs with the Clarets and won three of them. However, given the strong form of the league leaders, we predict the Clarets to have an easy lead in this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Reading has scored in four consecutive games coming into this game. But the Royals have failed to hit the back of the net in two of the previous four games at Select Car Leasing Stadium. Burnley has also been great at the back and secured three clean sheets in the last five games in Championship. On the scoring end, the Clarets have been on the scoring side in four of those matches. Hence, we expect Burnley to be the only side strong enough to rattle the net in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 0-2 to Burnley

Burnley has conceded a total of seven goals in the last five league outings and leaked more than once in two of them. On the other hand, Burnley has managed to hit the back of the net twice or more in three of the aforementioned duration. The Clarets also scored a double in the reverse meeting with Reading this season. Burnley scored twice against top teams, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough before this game and we expect them to continue the form to get a 0-2 lead in this game.

Reading vs Burnley: Form, Recent Games, and News

Reading Preview

After three consecutive draws, the Royals returned to their losing form with a 2-1 defeat against Preston North End. Reading scored an equaliser in the 83rd minute but Preston’s Brad Potts’ goal in stoppage time resulted in a defeat for the Royals. Caretaker manager Noel Hunt has a healthy roster in the upcoming game with a dire need of three points.

Players to Watch: Andy Yiadom (Reading)

Reading are one of the most booked teams in the Championship this season. Their style is aggressive and their defense skills are not as good, which leads to a lot of unneccesary tackles. Andy Yiadom is their most-booked player this season with 13 yellow cards in 36 games, which is a very high percentage. Against Burnley, we definitely expect him to have a lot of work.

Burnley Preview

The Clarets snapped Sheffield United’s winning streak in the last game with a 2-0 victory at Turf Moor. A brace from Gudmundsson in the second half over 10-men Blades won the promotion back to the Premier League. With only Josh Brownhill on the injury list, manager Vincent Kompany will be determined to carry on their incredible journey in Championship.

Players to Watch: Nathan Tella (Burnley)

Burnley have a serious problem ahead of this match – one of their top scorers is out for this game – Jay Rodriguez. With him gone, Nathan Tella will have to be even better than usual. He has scored 17 goals in the league this season and there is no one better in Burnley to bet on in this match.
