Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Select Car Leasing Stadium pits together Reading and Charlton Athletic. The Royals aim to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Wrexham, but they face a difficult task against the in-form Red Robins. Femi Azeez is no longer part of the team after completing his move to Millwall, while Andy Yiadom remains on the sidelines with a knee injury. Attacker Harvey Knibbs misses out with injury as well.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s encounter. As the there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Nathan Jones’ troops. In their last meeting in the English third tier Reading defeated Charlton 2-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (Reading):
Reading FC is a professional football club that play in the Championship. The club was formed in 1871 and Madejski Stadium has been the home of Reading since 1998. The Royals used to play their home games at Elm Park in the past (1896 - 1998). Reading made it to the FA Cup semi-finals on two occasions (1927, 2015), but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy.
The likes of Robin Friday, Trevor Senior, Steve Death, Shaka Hislop, Phil Parkinson, Alf Messer, Jimmy Quinn, Michael Gilkes, Ronnie Blackman, Pavel Pogrebnyak and Martin Hicks are some of their more notable footballers. Aldershot Town were considered Reading’s fiercest rivals, but the Shots went out of business in 1992.
Seeing that Aldershot rejoined the league in 2008 it remains to be seen if the rivalry is going to be re-established in near future. Swindon Town and Oxford United are considered Reading’s big rivals as well.
