Preston North End - Reading betting tips and odds

Though Preston North End are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The odds are stacked heavily against Reading here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Lilywhites are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.40.

Both Preston North End and their supporters will be very happy with how their last Championship game panned out. The Monday hosts played away and held for a tied first half before they stepped it up and put in an impressive display after the break to earn them a Queens Park Rangers win.

The Royals’s previous round was a home match against Birmingham City which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.10 odds on a home win.

The Royals fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The two teams already met this season in the Championship, with Preston North End taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

This Monday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
