Betting suggestion:

The market we suggest for this match is the ''Reading’s triumph''. Despite going through a complicated stage of the season, the home team enjoys a higher quality squad at different points in the match, being very likely to dominate from the beginning to the end of the ninety minutes. On the other hand, Stevenage should act defensively, exploiting only the counterattack, however, without great success. So, risking the home team’s win in this tiebreaker is the best option.

After the goalless draw in the 1st leg, the home team needs to get a home win to qualify for the next round.

Reading comes for this match after a goalless draw against Hull City, scoring the eighth straight match without winning in several competitions. In this way, it’s evident that the home team is going through a very difficult time of the season. Even so, the coach Jaap Stam should keep the team in 4-3-3 with Kermorgant being the most offensive reference. On the other hand, Modou Barrow is the great highlight of Reading with 7 scored goals. Obviously, the Dutch coach won’t count on Obita, Beerens, McShane and Swift, all due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Anssi Jaakkola, Tyler Blackett, Tiago Ilori, Leandro Bacuna, Liam Kelly, David Edwards, Pelle Clement, Roy Beerens, Sone Aluko, J. Böðvarsson.
Coach: C. Gunter, R. Sellés Salvador.
