Reading - Watford betting tips and odds

Though the match can honestly go either way, Reading will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 2.88 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against The Royals on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

The away team had little luck in the previous round of the Championship. They were the clear underdogs from the get-go, and also had to contend with a home-field disadvantage. Rather predictably, their opponents Middlesbrough took the lead early and only consolidate their lead as the match went on, finally winning 2:0.

Experts have pointed at The Royals’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 7 goals over the last 3 Championship games.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

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 3.40 with Unibet, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
