Reading v Wigan Betting Tips

Reading are still well in the mix to fight Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield for a third place finish this season in the Championship. It’s certainly up for grabs and a win in this one could get them closer to that. It will actually confirm them a spot in the play offs for the season so that is the first priority for them. Reading have won their last three league home games now and they are holding an unbeaten stretch of nine at home now (W6 D3). Overall this season they have been so strong on home soil in the league having posted a W15 D5 L2 record that it will be a surprise if they slipped up in this one. Reading to win to nil at Bet365 for a price of 12/5 which looks some value and under 2.5 goals in the game is probably the way to go as well at even money. The Royals beat Wigan 3-0 earlier in the season and you would imagine that they will be comfortable on home soil.

In the Bet365 anytime goalscorer market, Reading’s Yann Kermorgant is 13/8 outright favourite. What does make this interesting is that Wigan are on a three-match winning streak at Reading and how badly they need to make that four in a row. If they don’t win this one on the weekend then they will be down. They have to win and hope that Birmingham doesn’t, to take things to the final game of the season. The Latics have improved somewhat to a W2 D1 L1 record in their last four, the defeat being a narrow loss out at Champions-elect Brighton. But, worryingly for them in this one, they are on a three-match losing streak on the road and have gone just W2 L6 in their last eight away from home. So Wigan aren’t great travellers, having lost 13 of 22 away games this term. In the Bet365 correct score market, a Reading 1-0 win is in short at 7/1.

Reading v Wigan Predictions

Reading home Win: Wigan are desperate right now but that probably isn’t going to help them out in this one. The Royals are probably going to be far too strong on home soil for them, so look for a home win and probably to nil.
