Prediction: 1-0
Birmingham City
Reading will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win at Wigan Athletic when they face Birmingham City at their Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Royals quickly bounced back from back-to-back losses to the likes of Brentford and Leeds United, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Reading aim to escape the danger zone in the Championship standings, and they are certainly capable of matching Birmingham City, who failed to win the previous five league fixtures.
The Blues shared the spoils with Millwall at the weekend, with Clarke-Salter scoring the equalizer in the 79th minute of the match. Anyhow, Josep Clotet Ruiz’s troops, who are not regarded as good travelers, will spoil Reading’s party at Madejski Stadium. In their last meeting in the English second tier, the two teams played out a goalless draw, but home win should be considered this time out as the Royals have been in a much better form of late than the Blues.
