Reading vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

• West Brom have won one of their 13 Championship matches this season
• Reading have the best home record in the division this season (W5, D1, L1)
• Both teams have scored in each of Reading’s last three league matches

Royals enjoying life under Ince

Many would have expected Reading to be operating at the bottom-end of the Championship this season, with Paul Ince’s hands tied in the transfer market, meaning he had to assemble a side of free-agents and loans. Reading have pulled up trees this season and could find themselves top of the Championship come 5pm on Saturday.

Reading have the best home record in the division having taken 16 points from seven matches at the Select Car Leasing Stadium this season. Reading have a tendency to leak goals and are the only team in the Championship’s top eight to have a negative goal difference. The hosts appear overpriced on Saturday, while a chance should also be taken on both teams scoring, given these two sides defensive frailties.

Baggies begin life after Bruce

Steve Bruce was dismissed as Baggies boss following midweek’s 0-0 draw with Luton. West Brom have won one of their 13 Championship matches this season; despite boasting one of the biggest wages bills in the division, West Brom find themselves inside the relegation zone, just three points off bottom. The West Brom players have shown very little this season and The Baggies can be avoided at a shade of odds-against at Reading.

Reading Draw no Bet will be the main selection for Saturday’s game, with a 2-1 home win forming the Correct Score prediction.
