Stevenage Reading betting prediction

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home loss against Birmingham City by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Reading has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 14 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (61'‑75'); they have conceded 7 of their 18 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Reading comes for this match after a home defeat against Birmingham, by 0-2, continuing in this way without a win in the English second division. We should point out that visiting team hasn’t won for six straight matches. This match against Stevenage will be an ideal match for Reading to gain some motivation. In this away match, the coach Jaap Stam should play in 4-3-3, profiting from his usual position and keeping up the good work. Recall the great highlight of the visiting team is the right winger Modou Barrow with 7 scored goals. It seems the coach won’t count on Obita, Quinn and Sam Smith, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Anssi Jaakkola, Joey van den Berg, Omar Richards, Paul McShane, Tiago Ilori, George Evans, Leandro Bacuna, Liam Kelly, David Edwards, Garath McCleary, Modou Barrow.
Coach: V. Paunovic.
