On Tuesday night, Bolton Wanderers and Reading clash at the Championship, as both teams look for a crucial win in the relegation battle.
Bolton are currently second from bottom, three points behind their 22nd place opponents, and three points away from safety in the second tier.
Wanderers have won just once in 18 league games and have failed to win in four Championship outings. Last time out in the second tier, the Trotters suffered a 2-0 home defeat against West Brom. Phil Parkinson’s team have conceded at least two goals in their last three league matches, which has not helped Wanderers league results.
Bolton’s recent home form in the Championship has been poor, as they have won just once in nine league outings on home soil. Their recent league matches in the second tier have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven games on home soil.
Reading could move out of the Championship relegation zone with a victory in this league clash. However, the Royals have won once in their last 12 games in the second tier. Last time out in the second tier, Reading suffered a 2-1 defeat at Derby County.
The Royals recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven Championship outings.
The visitor’s recent away form has been poor, as they have failed to win in ten away games in the Championship, picking up four draws and suffering six defeats. The Royals recent away games in the second tier have been low scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven matches on their travels in the Championship.
This game could prove vital in the fight for survival. Forebet predicts that the two teams will cancel each other out, with the game finished in a low scoring draw.
