Rotherham vs Reading Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th August 2022
The Championship tie at New York Stadium on Saturday sees home team Rotherham up against Reading.
Rotherham are staring at a potential lousy opening to the new season in the Championship. With just one point so far, losing this round three match as well, and crisis looms already. Reading have seen both sides of the coin already this season in the Championship, and will out to double up on their share of wins in the coming match.
It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Rotherham and Reading are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at New York Stadium as the teams look to get one over each other.
Rotherham have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly seven goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.7 goals per game, in which they conceded ten goals, or one goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to one clean sheet in this run.
Reading are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.2 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 16 goals, and while Reading claimed zero clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.6 goals per match.
Rotherham vs Reading Prediction
Rotherham only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at New York Stadium in the Championship. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded seven goals.
A battle for survival appears to be on the cards for Rotherham as they seek to keep their Championship status for another term.
Reading only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Championship. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by eight goals to four.
A struggle seems inevitable at this stage for Reading, as the home side look to beat the drop zone and keep their Championship status.
Reading and Rotherham seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Saturday, as we aim for both teams to score.
