Birmingham vs Reading Predictions

• Birmingham have won their last three games.
• Reading have lost their last four and have six defeats in eight away games in the Championship.
• Birmingham have three clean sheets in their last four games and Reading haven’t scored in their last three away.

Buoyant Blues are on a roll

Birmingham have won their last three games after coming through a tough period and should be able to continue their hot streak against a Reading side in freefall on Saturday.

The Royals have lost their last four games in a row and have failed to score in their last three. The Berkshire side have now lost nine of their 16 Championship games this season and six of those defeats have come away from home.

Birmingham beat Bristol City 3-0 in their last game at St Andrew’s on Tuesday and have three wins, two draws and three defeats from eight games at home so far. An 11-point haul from a possible 24 available may not look particularly impressive, but two of their three defeats came against the current top two and they have managed back-to-back home victories ahead of the visit of Reading.

The Blues have three clean sheets in their last four games, while Reading have four defeats in their last six away games and they’ve failed to score in all of those losses. That pattern may well continue for the Royals on Saturday and a 2-0 win for the hosts looks a strong option for correct score bettors.
