Reading V Bolton

Its hard to see anyone backing Bolton at any stage unless they unearth some hidden goalscoring talent from somewhere.

Two consecutive 0 – 0 results and relegation is now a very serious threat. Against Fulham last Tuesday night they never ever looked like scoring but it must be said that Fulham looked content with the draw in what was a largely forgetable game. They are still winless on the road and have lost 8 games and have conceded just over two goals a game.

Reading although level on points with Bolton, are a far better team in my eyes. At home they have a 6-1-5 record with 14 goals scored and 17 conceded and they will look to their home form to see them out of danger at the wrong end of the table. They have conceded 50 goals which is a shockingly bad stat but it must also be taken into account that 13 of these came in two bizarre games.

They had two tough games in their last two outings with narrow defeats to Man U and Chelsea.

Verdict

Readings last two games were as hard as they get and although they lost both , they performed admirably in both. Their defence may not be the strongest but should be able to keep to keep a shot shy Bolton side out. Reading are a better side overall and will be eager to take the 3 points on offer.

Reading to win 1 or 2 – 0
