Reading vs Rotherham Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Reading average 1.57 goals per game at home
• Rotherham only average 0.56 goals per game away from home
• Reading have won 57% of their home games this season

Running from relegation

Tuesday night’s game between Reading and Rotherham will see a clash of two sides looking to pull themselves away from the relegation zone. The hosts are currently in 18th place, five points above their opponents who sit in 20th. Rotherham’s form of late has been impressive, having avoided defeat in their last four games, while Reading are winless in six.

However, Reading are tipped as the winners here, with their impressive home form across the season the deciding factor. The Royals have won 57% of this season’s home games, scoring an average of 1.57 goals per game – higher than the league average of 1.32. As a result, a prediction of Reading to win 1-0 looks good in what will be a tight game.

Home and away

Reading’s home form has been massively impressive this season, averaging 1.93 points per game when playing at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, compared to their opponents record of 0.81 points per game away from home. Rotherham have also scored just 0.56 goals per game away from home, so a clean sheet for the hosts looks likely.

It’s because of The Miller’s lack of proficiency in front of goal away from home that a tip of Reading to win to nil looks like good value.
