Reading - Blackpool betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 25/02/2023 played @ Madejski Stadium refereed by John Brooks

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Blackpool are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Reading should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It would be a minor miracle for Blackpool to win at Reading, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.90 price on most online sportsbooks.

Reading went into their previous Championship match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Cardiff City , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 1:0 defeat in hte end.

The visiting team were fighting an uphill battle in last round’s away game against Blackburn Rovers. Neither Championship betting tips nor the bookies themselves were too optimistic about their chances, so the 1:0 defeat was hardly a defeat. Still, the narrow goal difference implies a reasonably decent performance.

Reading’s recent Championship away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 6 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

Our confidence that Blackpool will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Although the 2.10 betting odds for a home win show that Reading are the favourites, their track record against Blackpool this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
