The Championship game at Select Car Leasing Stadium on Wednesday sees visitors Blackburn facing home side Reading. Reading triumphed in a 1-0 win against Blackburn, the last time they faced off. However, Blackburn secured a 2-0 win in the match before that.

Reading are placed 18 with three points after three matches. Blackburn occupy a position as first in the league on nine points.

With four wins on the bounce, Blackburn are ready to take on anyone, and motivation should be high to let Reading be the next victim in line.

Reading vs Blackburn Prediction

Reading managed one win in the last three matches, which was a 2-1 victory against Cardiff. They went on to lose 1-2 against Stevenage, before getting dumped in a 4-0 defeat against Rotherham. Reading won three of their previous six matches at Select Car Leasing Stadium in the Championship. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring ten goals to nine against.

Staying clear of finishing inside the relegation zone is probably the best Reading can aim for this season. Each and every point counts from the word go.

Blackburn are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Swansea got left behind in a 0-3 win, before Hartlepool got hammered in a 4-0 victory. West Bromwich was the most recent victim in a 2-1 win for Blackburn. In their last six Championship away matches, Blackburn have three wins, they've drawn one and lost one two. They scored 12 while also conceding seven times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Blackburn have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Championship this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Reading and Blackburn.
