Reading - Burnley betting tips and odds

There is a big reason why Reading are given 6.75 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Burnley and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

We are most likely going to see this match being won by Burnley. They have a solid advantage over their opponents – at least according to the betting odds. That said, we’ve definitely seen much bigger surprises in the Championship but such a scenario is not entirely likely in this fixture.

A Preston North End defeat is something The Royals want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Championship came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

The Clarets played against Sheffield United in the previous round on home grounds, with top online bookmakers pricing their victory at 3.33. The scores were still tied at the 45-minute mark, but The Clarets went on to score several goals in the second half and decisively win.

Burnley have an excellent defensive track record at the moment with no concessions in their previous 3 home games. Although they’re playing without home-field advantage this Saturday, we would keep their rock-solid defence in mind for betting purposes.

The bookies see the away team as more likely to win this game, partly based on an earlier match played between them and The Royals. Playing as the home tea, The Clarets secured a solid victory and 3 more points for the tally. The conditions are somewhat less favourable this time, but they could still be able to come out on top.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
