Brentford and Both Teams To Score
Reasoning
Reason for tip
Keith Andrews fielded a strong Brentford side in the last round, and they eased to a 6-1 victory over Birmingham. The Bees should be far too strong for League One Reading, but the Royals can find the net, having struck 12 times across their last four matches.
Brentford 4-1
Reasoning
Reason for tip
The Bees proved far too strong for Birmingham in the last round, and that should be the case again when they meet a Reading side who are 14th in League One with seven points from five games. The Royals are backed to get on the scoresheet, with BTTS landing in Brentford’s last four.
Callum Wilson To Score Anytime
Reasoning
Reason for tip
Callum Wilson scored his first goal for Brentford in the previous round at St Andrew’s, and he should take his latest chance in the starting lineup against a lower-league side.
Reading vs Brentford Predictions
- Brentford scored six at Birmingham in the previous round
- Reading are 14th in League One with seven points from five games
- Both teams have scored in Brentford’s last four games
Bees prioritising cup run
Keith Andrews fielded a strong Brentford side in the last round and they duly ran riot in a 6-1 win at Birmingham.
The Bees boss had a fine first season after taking the reins from Thomas Frank and the Irishman has won over any doubters at this point.
They are unbeaten in the league but have drawn three on the trot. If Andrews send out something akin to the side that faced the Blues, then Brentford should be headed for the last 16, though Reading can get on the scoresheet after scoring 12 times in four games recently.
Wilson can shine in spotlight
Former England striker Callum Wilson scored his first goal for Brentford in the previous round at St Andrew’s, taking just six minutes to break the deadlock.
He got just over an hour in that contest but has been used fleetingly in the Premier League since. The 34-year-old should feature heavily here again and will fancy his chances of notching another goal against third-tier Reading.
