Reading vs Stevenage Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Stevenage’s last four competitive fixtures
• Stevenage have won their opening two league matches this season, both 2-1
• Reading are expected the rest several first team players

Weakened hosts may lead to goals

Paul Ince’s Reading recorded their first win of the season against Cardiff on Saturday and following that performance, Ince may look to rest several of those who started at the weekend. Steve Evans will fancy his side to cause an upset whatever strength of side Ince choses to put out and with the hosts likely to be slightly weakened, we can be hopeful of goals at both ends of the pitch – both teams have scored in Stevenage’s last four competitive fixtures, including their opening two League Two fixtures this season.

Youthful Royals may fall short of the mark

Reading will be buoyed by Saturday’s victory and confidence must be high in the camp. However, the Reading bench has been made up largely of youth team players for their opening two league games with many senior players missing through injury. A youthful Royals team is expected on Tuesday to avoid the risk of further first team casualties and there looks to be a chance unbeaten Stevenage can upset the applecart.

Both Teams to Score will be the main selection for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup First Round clash at Select Car Leasing Stadium. The Correct Score prediction for Tuesday’s game will be for it to finish 2-1 to the visitors – both of Stevenage’s league victories this season have come by way of a 2-1 score line.
