Reading vs Stoke City: Top Free Betting Tips

Reading will be eager to continue the winning form of the home games in the upcoming fixture against Stoke City on Sunday, 4 September. The Potters have been involved in many winless games ahead of this game.

Reading to Win

Reading come into this game after an away defeat but they have claimed a positive flow in the league and won three of the last four attempts. The Royals have also registered consecutive three victories in the recent home attempts. In opposition, Stoke City didn’t get a quite favourable start to the season and have won only one game in the previous five duels. The potters are also terrible in the away meetings with six defeats in the last seven visits. So Reading will be optimistic about staying on the winning track and will repeat the last home H2H result with a victory.

Over 2.5 Goals

Three of the last four H2Hs at the home of Reading ended with over 2.5 goals and teams shared 12 goals in that course. The Royals have managed an average of two goals per game in the three home Championship outings of this season. But they also leaked goals in three of the previous five home duels. Stoke City have a ratio of one goal per game in the recent outings and they also had been involved to secure high totals in the H2Hs. So a high-scoring total is the next pick for this game.

Both Teams to Score: Yes

Reading was unable to get on the score sheet in the last game but they have consistency on home turf and scored in all of the last six meetings. On the other hand, Stoke City have also been on the scoreboard in four of the previous five games, conceding goals in four of them as well. But they also hit the target in all of the last five visiting H2Hs against the Royals. So we expect this game to feature a BTTS outcome which is the same as the last two H2Hs.

The Royals couldn’t extend their winning streak against the table leaders in the last game and got hammered by 0-4 against Sheffield United. But four wins in the seven league attempts have got Readings to the seventh position on the table. The manager Paul Ince will report four injury issues in the team before this game.

Stoke City

The Potters played their successive third home game without a win in the last game against Swansea and concluded the game in a 1-1 draw. Stoke City have won only two games in the seven attempts and stands in the sixteenth position in the standings. Harry Souttar with the other four players will be off the field for this game due to injuries.
