Our prediction for this Championship match:
Select Car Leasing Stadium will host Monday’s Championship game between Reading and Swansea City. The Royals moved one step closer to securing the survival thanks to a 2-1 win over Sheffield United, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Swansea. All Araruna, Swift, Rinomhota, and Tetek remain in the recovery room, while experienced forward Junior Hoilett is widely expected to replace Ovie Ejaria in the starting XI.
The Swans, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league fixtures. Swansea City aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but beating Reading at Select Car Leasing Stadium is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Flynn Downes should be the only absentee in the away team.

Junior Hoilett began his youth career at Blackburn Rovers and he spent five years at Ewood Park.
