Peterborough United - Reading betting tips and odds

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Reading are still on the table.

While The Royals may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.01 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Peterborough United will have been disappointed with their previous Championship fixture. Boosted by their home support, all they managed to do is to hold on for the first 45 minutes. A draw at the break turned into a narrow Preston North End defeat the hosts are keen to bounce from.

Reading lost their previous Championship clash against Coventry City, just like most betting predictions anticipated. Considering how difficult the matchup was for them, though, the match it was fairly close with a draw at half time and 2:3 at the end.

The first step Peterborough United need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Reading lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Reading carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Peterborough United as somewhat more likely to win.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
