Coventry City - Reading betting tips and odds

Coventry City are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Reading winning, though.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Coventry City and the 5.75 odds given to Reading to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Coventry City did not have big expectations heading into their Championship trip last time out. At the odds of 3.15 they were not greatly favoured to claim an away win. However, after the first 45 minutes it surely looked as if they could actually snatch the three points. Ultimately, they lacked strength to endure the pressure for the entire match. A Blackburn Rovers draw is by no means a bad result though.

Reading’s previous Championship match ended in a 1:1 draw. Considering the 5.40 top online bookmakers offered for The Royals winning, though, they’re far happier with the result than their opponents Luton Town.

Coventry City’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 7 times, which is not a great look.

The Royals’s recent record shows that most games end with a relatively small number of goals at the final tally. For instance, all 5 of their previous home games confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to The Royals once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.75 with 10Bet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
