Competition: Championship

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 2.5 @ 888sport

In what could be another low-scoring affair on Tuesday night, Reading will host Stoke when the midweek Championship fixtures get underway.

Starting with the hosts, while Reading might have shown some recent improvements over recent times, they still find themselves looking over their shoulder at the drop zone. In their 39 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, seven draws and 21 defeats, scoring 45 and conceding 74 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 34, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 21st and holding a five-point buffer over the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against fellow relegation scrappers Barnsley, Reading are unbeaten in their last three Championship matchups. Likewise, it should also be noted, Tuesday’s hosts have seen four of their previous five second-tier fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, managing to mark their return from the international break with an eye-catching display, Stoke will be desperate to build off of that result. In their 39 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 14 wins, 10 draws and 15 defeats, scoring 49 and conceding 44 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 52, they open the midweek fixtures sat 13th in the table and just two points adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win against Sheffield United on home soil, Stoke have secured back-to-back Championship victories. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with Tuesday’s guests seeing four of their last six second-tier fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
