Reading Birmingham City betting prediction
 Reading |
|  Birmingham |
Betting suggestion:
This is a game that pits two teams facing each other in similar situations. Playing in their home stadium, Reading will have several goal-scoring situations and will end up scoring some of them. On the other hand, Birmingham City is going through a positive moment in the Championship and, besides that, they have a very efficient attack. That said, we believe in a very open game with several chances to score, so taking a risk on goals is a good option.
