Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2 Goals – 1.59
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Anytime Correct Score 1-0 – 2.00
Reading to Win or Draw
Reading won eight of their 12 home games this season which makes them 67% favorites to win this game. QPR meanwhile lost five and drew three of their 13 away games. The last two h2hs in Reading ended in draws.
Over 2 Goals
In the 26 rounds played so far in the current campaign, 83% of Reading’s home games and 54% of QPR’s away fixtures in the Championship produced over two goals. In addition, the last four h2h meetings also ended with two or more goals.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
Four times this season Reading won by a score of 1-0 at full-time and another four times their matches at half-time showed the same score. Overall, ten times the same score occurred in QPR’s fixtures.
Reading
Reading will be relishing their week-long break after playing four games in 12 days, which involved winning only one of three league matches (D1, L1) before securing a morale-boosting 2-0 win over fellow Championship side Watford in the FA Cup last time out.
Returning to the Madejski Stadium is exactly what the Royals need to enhance their Championship aspirations, having secured 25 of their 36 points in front of their fans. Reading have not lost back-to-back games at the start of a new year since 2010.
QPR
QPR are also looking to turn their fortunes around after a dreary three-game run in the Championship (D2, L1) was consolidated with a 2-1 loss to League One side Fleetwood in the FA Cup.
A date with Reading might provide the inspiration needed then, as not only are QPR chasing their first league double over their hosts since the 2010/11 season but could also win three consecutive league H2Hs for the very first time.
Games between these two clubs promise to be exciting ones. Reading are undefeated against QPR at home in the last three meetings, winning one and drawing twice. For our prediction, we will back a double chance of a home win or draw.
The average number of corners awarded in Reading matches is 9.50 while QPR’s games produced 9.92 corners per game this season in the Championship. Two of the last three h2hs also saw under ten corners. Hence, with odds of 1.51 at 1xBet, we predict this match to produce under 10.5 corners.
Reading’s Tom Ince usually takes his time to settle into the match, scoring 12 of his last 13 Championship goals after half-time, while QPR’s Lyndon Dykes seems to love this particular encounter, having netted five times in his last three outings against Reading.
Reading’s Liam Moore, Tyrese Fornah, Sam Hutchinson, and Dejan Tetek are all injured and won’t be available for this game.
On QPR’s side, Stefan Johansen and Leon Balogun are injured while Andre Dozzell and Jack Clarke-Salter are doubtful due to illness.
Reading: Lumley; Hoilett, Yiadom, Dann, Guinness-Walker, McIntyre; Ince, Loum, Hendrick; Meite, Carroll;
QPR: Dieng; Laird, Dickie, Dunne, Paal; Shodipo, Field, Iroegbunam; Chair, Dykes, Roberts;
