Reading vs Blackpool Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Blackpool average just 0.82 goals per game away from home
• Reading have only lost 20% of their home games this season, averaging 2 points per game
• Reading have the 6th best home form in the league

Home comforts

Reading have had a poor season, and are currently struggling for results, having won just one of their last eight league games. One thing that will give the fans hope, however, will be their staggering home form. Reading have averaged 2.00 points per game when playing at home, having lost just 20% of games at the Madejski this season, and this makes them the 6th best home team in the league according to the points won.

This contrasts their opponents completely, with Blackpool’s away form being the fourth worst in the league, and averaging just 0,82 goals scored per game when playing on the road. Reading’s dominance in their home form should see them get the result here, and with odds at evens on bet365, this seems the best bet.

Disappointing form

Both sides go into this game on incredibly disappointing form, with the hosts having failed to win in eight of their last ten league games, while the visitors have won just once in sixteen. The Royal’s impressive home form, contrasting with their opponents’ away form, should give them the edge in a game that could give them a boost going into the final stretch of the season, to ensure they don’t get dragged into a relegation dogfight.

As a result, a correct score prediction of 2-0 Reading appeals, as Blackpool simply shouldn’t have enough to trouble them on the road.
