Reading Wigan Athletic betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge is Reading not to win. It is true that the visiting team acts without the mass support of its fans, however, it has some victories in the last foreign games and an interesting squad. Note that Reading has not won at home for six consecutive games. Thus, it is expected that Wigan will put its quality on the field and end up winning at least one point.

Preview
Reading and Wigan Athletic meet at Madejski Stadium, in a match for the 35th round of the Championship. Reading got an away win by (1‑3), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 30‑11‑2019. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 5 matches they won 4 and tied 1. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 16th and 22th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 23th best team in home matches and the 21th best in away matches.

Analysis Reading

After 11 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses, the home team is in the 16th position, havinf won 42 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Leeds United by (1‑0), after in the previous match they have won (0‑3) an away match against Sheffield Wednesday. Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 22 points in away matches and only 20 at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Reading has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 16 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 19 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Reading comes unmotivated for this match after an away loss, by 1-0, against Leeds. The home team usually plays in a traditional 4-3-3, favoring a faster playing style, with constant transitions, attacking, preferably, through the side aisles. It should be noted that, in this drawing, the three most advanced players are Méité, Puscas and Olise. Note that coach Mark Bowen will not be able to count on Tyler Blackett and Tom McIntyre, the first due to punishment and the second due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Rafael, Omar Richards, Michael Morrison, Liam Moore, John Swift, Pelé, Ovie Ejaria, Yakou Meite, Felipe Araruna, Andy Yiadom, Sam Baldock.
Coach: N. Hunt.

Analysis Wigan

The away team is currently in the 22th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 8 wins, 10 draws and 16 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Cardiff City, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Millwall, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 11 points in away matches and 23 at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 22 conceded at home, against 16 goals scored and 28 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Wigan Athletic has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Wigan comes motivated for this match after a home win, by 1-0, against Millwall: Hutchinson, at the 57th minute, put the ball in his own goal. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3, giving more importance to a slow playing style, with possession of the ball, progressing on the ground, mainly, through the central corridor. The three arrows aimed at the goal of the "enemy" will be Jacobs, Moore and Pilkington, and in the middle of the field it is possible for Morsy, Williams and Lowe to act. One of the great gaps of the visiting group is the completion of the opportunities for danger that they manage to create. The visiting coach should not be able to count on Chey Dunkley for being punished.

Confirmed Lineup: David Marshall, Cedric Kipre, Tom Pearce, Nathan Byrne, Leon Balogun, Gary Roberts, Jamal Lowe, Joe Williams, Sam Morsy, Gavin Massey, Kieffer Moore.
Coach: L. Richardson.
