Our prediction for this Championship match:
Stoke City did not make a flying start to the season, but they have been raising their form week by week and, as a result, they are only five points behind the play-offs berth ahead of the trip to Reading. The Potters did well to beat Frank Lampard’s Derby in midweek, with the team extending their unbeaten run in the English second tier to six games. Stoke City are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but seeing that they have found their form of late, we predict that they are going to beat Reading at Madejski Stadium. The Royals have been struggling in front of goal of late and you should bear in mind that they failed to score in previous two league fixtures against Wigan (0-0) and Leeds United (0-1). When the two teams met in the Premier League five years ago Stoke defeated Reading 2-1.
