Bristol City vs Reading: Top Free Betting Tips

On the back of consecutive away defeats, Bristol City are scheduled to host Reading in the upcoming league fixture on Saturday, 1 April. The Royals have also followed a long winless pattern before this game, featuring a draw previously against Hull City.

Match Result Prediction: Bristol City to Win

Bristol City has conceded three defeats in the last five league outings, along with just one victory. However, the team has an opposite pattern at home where they won four of the previous six duels, winning the only one against Manchester City in FA Cup. On the contrary, Reading has been horrible in the recent away attempts, losing in the consecutive seven visits. The Robins have won three of the recent five home meetings with Reading and will be our favourites again to record the lead in this duel.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Four of the last five meetings of these teams at Bristol’s home have ended with low-scoring totals. The Robins have managed an average of only one goal in the last five outings at home. The hosts have also claimed consecutive clean sheets in the recent hosting duels in the league. On the other hand, Reading has also scored only twice in the duration of the last five league attempts. Based on the given scoring flow, we anticipate a low-scoring total at the end of this duel.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Bristol City

Reading’s front line has been effortless in the recent visits as they have failed to score in four of the last five away outings in the EFL Championship. Bristol City has also held a strong defence previously with three clean sheets in the last four league outings at home. However, on the scoring end, the hosts have hit the target only once per game in four of the recent five hosting duels in the second division. Hence, we believe to see a 1-0 lead for the Robins before the final whistle blows.
