Bristol City vs Reading Predictions

• Reading have lost just one of their last eight away trips (W2, D5).
• Three of the Royals’ last four games on the road have ended goalless.
• Bristol City have failed to score in three of their last four league outings.

Royals to Play Out Another Bore Draw on the Road

After four straight league losses including a 6-0 weekend battering at Watford on Saturday, avoiding defeat will surely be the priority for Bristol City this week when they entertain Reading at Ashton Gate.

The Robins have to lift themselves quickly for this short turnaround, which is an extremely tall order, however there are enough reasons for punters to avoid Reading in the match betting.

The Royals have endured a tough week themselves following consecutive home defeats against Brentford (1-3) and Millwall (1-2) – the latter demonstrating clear fatigue within the squad as a first half lead was squandered.

As a result, it’s easy to envisage a fairly flat encounter this Tuesday evening and the sides’ recent goal stats also point towards a low scoring contest. The hosts have failed to score in three of their last four games, while three of Reading’s last four away trips have finished 0-0.

A goalless stalemate could well be on the cards for Veljko Paunovic’s side again and that’s our play in the correct score market. With a lack of action anticipated, under 2.5 goals is our main tip at around the 4/6 mark.
