Our prediction for this Championship match:
Reading and Brentford go head to head at Madejski Stadium in the Championship postponed fixture on Wednesday evening. The Royals are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, but they will have a mountain to climb in the midweek game. All Araruna, Moore, and Puscas remain in the recovery room for the hosts. The Bees, on the other hand, rolled over Middlesbrough 4-1 in their last league match, with the team keeping their automatic promotion hopes alive.
Brentford aim to overtake Norwich City in top position in the standings, but beating Reading at Madejski Stadium is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. The likes of Baptiste, Jansson, Marcondes, and Norgaard are all likely to miss the game with injuries, while Goode is rated doubtful for the Reading game.
Highlighted Player (Andy Yiadom):
Andy Yiadom was born in Holloway, London, but he began his career in the youth team of Watford. After spending two years at the Watford football academy, the pacey full-back (winger) joined Hayes & Yeading United and he scored only one goal in 36 appearances in the league for the club.
At the end of the 2010/2011 campaign Yiadom moved to Braintree Town and after scoring seven goals in 27 appearances for the Iron he signed a contract with Barnet. The 180-cm-tall footballer played for Barnet from 2012 to 2016 and he scored 14 goals in 169 appearances for the Bees. Andy Yiadom then decided to take a step forward in his career as he moved to Championship side Barnsley.
The English footballer played 32 games in the league for the Tykes last season and he provided three assists for his teammates, while receiving four yellow cards. His main position is full-back (right-back), but he is capable of playing on the left flank as well.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
