Our prediction for this Championship match:
Swansea City
Match Time & Date:
27/10/2018
15:00 GMT
Prediction: 2-0
Reading
Swansea City will be looking to build on a 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers when they take on reading at their Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Swans put an end to their three-game winless run in the Championship and thanks to the triumph they climbed to 10th position in the standings. Swansea City undisputedly produce much better showings at home than on the travels and seeing that the Royals have been struggling in the first half of the season, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s football match. A man to watch in the home team will be Kosovo international Bersant Celina, who found the net in the 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers in midweek. In their last meeting in a competitive match the Swans recorded a 2-0 win over Reading and the history is likely to repeat itself.

Highlighted Player (Martin Olsson):
Martin Olsson is an experienced Swedish defender who has spent his entire professional career up to date in England. The left-sided defender came through the Hogaborgs BK academy, but he went on to join Blackburn Rovers before turning 18. Olsson quickly managed to nail down a regular starting berth at Ewood Park, and he made a total of 117 league appearances ahead of signing for Norwich City in the summer of 2013. The Swedish left-back couldn’t help the Canaries avoid relegation to the Championship, but he featured in 45 league games as they secured a straight return to the elite division. Olsson was at times linked with top European clubs, but a big club move never materialised for him, although there is still time for him to make the next step. Also capable of playing on the left wing, Olsson scored 5 goals in just over 30 outings for the Sweden national team, making three appearances at the Euro 2012 finals in Ukraine and Poland.
Highlighted Team (Reading):
Reading are 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.
