Our prediction for this Championship match:
Tuesday’s football game at Kenilworth Road pits together Luton Town and Reading, the two teams who are level on points in the Championship standings. The Hatters played out a 1-1 draw with Sunderland at the weekend, but a win over Reading could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Henri Lansbury faces race against clock to be fit for the match, with Luke Freeman being ready to step up, while defender Reece Burke remains in the recovery room.
The Royals, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Burnley. Paul Ince’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and given their poor away record (2-0-6), we predict that Luton are going to emerge triumphant in Tuesday’s clash. Midfielder Mamadou Loum serves a one-game ban, while centre-back Tom McIntyre should recover in time to face Reading.
Highlighted Player (Allan Campbell):
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, on July 4, 1998, Allan Campbell is a Scottish footballer who plays for Motherwell. Campbell has been playing for the Steelmen since 2008 when he was a part of the Motherwell youth team.
The Scottish midfielder made his Premier League debut on October 29, 2016, in a 4-1 win over Ross County, and he scored his first goal in the Scottish top flight in a 4-2 victory over Inverness on April 15, 2017. Allan Campbell has 19 caps for the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the Scotland senior team. His primary position is a defensive midfielder, but he is used as a central midfielder as well.
The Scottish footballer wears the number 6 shirt at Motherwell. In his youth days, Allan Campbell attended All Saints Roman Catholic Secondary School in Glasgow. He joined Motherwell football academy at the age of 10.
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.
