Betting suggestion:

This match has all the conditions to be open and with several opportunities for goals for both sides. When they play in their stadium, Middlesbrough is usually very offensive and has the ability to create goal situations; Reading is going through a fantastic moment of the season and in this match they will act offensively. Note that the clubs scored in all games in these conditions. Having said that and taking into account these factors, we believe that betting in favor of goals is of great value.

Preview
Middlesbrough and Reading face at Riverside Stadium, in a match for the 5th round of the Championship. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 14‑09‑2019, in a match for the Championship, Middlesbrough won by (1‑0). The only goal of the match was scored by M. Johnson (60' ). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The home team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 5 points won, after 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Queens Park Rangers, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Barnsley, by (2‑1). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Middlesbrough has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition.

Middlesbrough heads into this match with a 2-1 win against Barnsley, registering the third straight game without losing in the English second division: the team's goals were signed by Chuba Akpom and Jonathan Howson. On this round against Reading, coach Neil Warnock should draw his team in a 3-5-2 tactic, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and attacks organized mainly by the runners. Chuba Akpom is Middlesbrough's top scorer with 2 goals scored. Out of this match are Grant Hall and Ashley Fletcher due to physical problems.


Confirmed Lineup: Marcus Bettinelli, Marc Bola, Anfernee Dijksteel, Marcus Tavernier, Sam Morsy, George Saville, Jonathan Howson, Paddy McNair, Dael Fry, Chuba Akpom, Britt Assombalonga.
Coach: M. Carrick.

Analysis Reading

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 12 points won, after 4 wins. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Cardiff City, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Watford, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Reading has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last matches. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 4 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition.

Reading's team starts this match with a 1-0 win against Watford, thus adding the fourth consecutive win in this competition: George Puscas scored the only goal of the match. In this match against Middlesbrough, coach Veljko Paunovic should maintain the usual 4-3-3 formation, favoring defensive organization and counterattacks on the flanks. Yakou Miete, Ovie Ejaria and Lucas João will be the most advanced pieces of the team, the latter two being very strong in finishing. Out of this game are Andy Yiadom, Felipe Araruna and John Swift, all with physical problems.


Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Omar Richards, Michael Morrison, Thomas Holmes, Liam Moore, Michael Olise, Ovie Ejaria, Andy Rinomhota, Yakou Meite, Josh Laurent, Lucas João.
Coach: N. Hunt.
