Reading - Coventry City betting tips and odds

Reading will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Coventry City. The price of 3.40 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

Coventry City should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.38 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - The Royals are no pushovers.

The home side suffered a slim defeat last time in the Championship. They played away from their home and returned with a one-goal deficit Bristol City defeat. Having conceded early on they never got a chance to get back on their feet.

Coventry City haven’t exactly been playing top of their game lately. Last round’s home draw 1:1 against Blackpool was far from a disaster, but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Royals have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

A quick look at the season’s match history tells us that Coventry won the last time these two squads clashed. It’s easy to see why most bookies online expect them to come out on top again, even if said victory was a narrow home win.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.04 at Betway.
