Premiership - Reading vs Middlesbrough Football betting preview

Boro are really struggling to score goals at the moment, Mido has disappeared with Southgate denoting that he told him to go rest after been given an injection for his injury. Reading are conceding like hell (which is logical as many EPL giants strengthened this year) but they are showing signs of improvement. Both teams come into this fixture from a defeat and they will be looking forward to get some points and renew their hopes of staying in the big league. Although I honestly believe that Reading are a respected Premier League side already. Ok they are not in the spectacular form they were last season, but still they are working hard as a team and this fact will reward them sooner or later.

Latest news from Boro camp report that Mido will not be available until the start of the new Year, however Huth and Arca (has been out for 2 months) played in the reserves and impressed Gary who watched the game. Most important Schwarzer might not play leaving Boro stranded as he damaged his thumb and he is unlikely to feature in Saturday's game.

Boro is certainly not an easy team to break down but with Kitson & Doyle on form I expect Reading to give them a hard time. The home boys must be feeling a little bit aggrieved with their last game v Gunners as they gave a good performance and gained nothing. Reading won't have Duberry who fractured his ribs v Fulham while Glen Little is impatient to get in the action however Steve Copell prefers to be sensible and follow the surgeon's advice which is to take it slowly.

I am opting for the home win, hoping that Reading will repeat their latest promising performances and overcome a really below average Boro. Pinnacle stick to the -0.5 AH therefore I am not reluctant at all to take the -1/4 from 10bet with generous stakes, as I can't see past the draw for this match.
