Reading vs Aston Villa Prediction & Betting tips
After a 1-1 tie earlier this season in Birmingham, Reading and Aston Villa meet again. This time the Madejski Stadium is the battle scene. Both teams do not do well with a 10th and 22nd place respectively. Does one of the two teams have some extra confidence after Saturday afternoon?
Reading:
In the match at Bolton Wanderers, Reading coach José Gomes awarded a number of winter reinforcements a first place in the starting line-up. Emiliano Martínez started on goal, Matt Miazga was next to Liam Moore in the defense and Nélson Oliveira made his appearance in the front. All three newcomers made a strong impression in the game that ended in a 1-1 draw. Martínez was able to make some good saves and the only goal from The Royals came from the base of the Portuguese striker from Norwich City. For a long time that goal seemed to be good for three points in Bolton. In the injury time, however, Bolton was right, so Reading missed two important points in the fight against relegation.
Gomes was nonetheless very satisfied with the debutants and the Portuguese also specifically focused on physical complaints from Oliveira: ‘They did it all very well. Nélson (Oliveira) was tired and complained about his muscles after the game. Hopefully he will be restored in time for the meeting with Aston Villa ‘. He also said about the course of the game: ‘We were very close to winning the game, but we had to finish it a bit earlier. We should have scored the opportunities that we created. If we did, we would not have been left with empty hands now ‘.
Aston Villa:
Last weekend, Aston Villa stepped into the field after five games without a win. Ipswich Town turned out to be too small for Villa Vill at Villa Park. Anyone other than Tammy Abraham became the match winner in the game with the number last of the Championship. The rented striker of Chelsea made both hits in the 2-1 victory. With the first goal, the quality declined. With Abraham, Villa is literally holding gold this season. After 23 games, the Englishman now scored nineteen, making him the top scorer of the league.
Villans coach Dean Smith was critical of two things despite the victory. He said after the game: “We could have won 5-0. Tammy (Abraham) had, in principle, also been able to score his 20th and 21st goal of the season. “In addition, he indicated that he would have to give up the counter goal 15 minutes before time. The Villans had to process a lot of goals in the past few weeks and hoped to win a clean sheet last week. Something that once again failed.
