Cardiff City - Reading betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Reading. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for The Royals who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Cardiff City return home this Friday after a successful trip in the Championship. They will be keen to build upon the latest Birmingham City away triumph which came after a tied first half. Cardiff pushed the pedal in the second 45 minutes to prove a big point to betting sites that had them at a generous 3.50.

The Royals’s latest Championship match against Rotherham United was full of excitement. Reading narrowly averted a disaster after their opponents grabbed an early lead. While the final victory is reassuring, fans were expecting a clean-cut home win for them.

Cardiff City are on a string of 5 away games that ended with 2 goals or less as the final score. Their approach might change because of the home-field advantage, but we would stay away from Over 2.5 bets.

Based on their recent performance, Reading’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Despite the 2.50 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against The Royals. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.53.
