Cardiff vs Reading Predictions

• Reading recorded a 2-1 victory in the reverse league fixture back in August
• Reading have lost one of their last 14 matches against Cardiff (W6, D7)
• Cardiff have failed to win any of their last eight home league matches (D3, L5)

Royals can complete league double over Cardiff

Both of these sides were buoyed by midweek victories, making Friday’s game at the Cardiff City Stadium a tricky puzzle to solve. Reading make more appeal at current prices than the hosts do, and The Royals will be the selection in the Draw no Bet market.

Reading have shown signs of improvement since the World Cup enforced winter break and have picked up 12 points from their ten matches since the Championship returned to action.

Reading have a fine recent record in this fixture, losing just one of the last 14 meetings between these two sides (W6, D7) and Paul Ince’s side can complete league double over the Bluebirds, having beaten them 2-1 in the reverse fixture back in August.

Cardiff make little appeal at the prices

Following their midweek win at Birmingham, Cardiff have been chalked up at a shade of odds against for Friday’s game and make little appeal at 21/20.

Cardiff have won back-to-back league games once all season and they look unlikely to go in again on Friday. The Bluebirds have taken three points from their last eight home league matches (D3, L5), with their last home win coming back in October.

Reading Draw no Bet will be the main selection for Friday’s game at Cardiff City Stadium, with a 2-1 away win forming the correct score prediction.
