As you can see from the new functionality of the prediction page, the team of Reading has a long trip ahead of them to northern England. Certainly the players of Reading do not perform well in their away games as they have lost their last 6 of them and so far throughout the season they haven`t got an away win in the Premier League. This game is a good opportunity for Newcastle to win three points and gain some confidence.
The hosts are just two points above the relegation zone and a victory in this match is mandatory for them. Any result different from a clear win will be considered catastrophic by the fans of Newcastle. Undoubtedly, the team has more quality than Reаding and will be the more aggressive team on the field. Newcastle won their last three home matches against Reading in the Premier League as in all three of them the team has scored three goals.
Alan Pardew is pleased with the fact that some key players in his team are back in the game. Newcastle hasn`t won any of their last four league games and it is about time 'The Magpies' to gain three points and slightly rize above the relegation zone. Season 2012/2013 so far has been terrible for Newcastle and it is clear that this team will have to fight fiercely for their survival in the league. "The Magpies" have ahead of them two difficult away games against Aston Villa and Tottenham. Therefore they should take full advantage of the home match against Reading.
