Barnsley vs reading prediction

It was Cardiff striker Tomlin's late goal that made the difference in Barnley's previous league encounter. Barnsley lost 3-2 on the road after holding out until the 94th minute.

Furthermore, Barnsley have lost four of their last five games of the season. However, the hosts are undefeated in four of their last five home games on the calendar.

Their only win in their last five games came against Hull City (3-1) at home. As such, Reading will have more work to do if they want Oakwell's three points.

Reading will have suffered a 2-3 loss to Birmingham at home in their previous league fixture. They conceded an own goal in the match.

Still, the Royals are undefeated in three of their last five road games of the season. Furthermore, the previous trip ended in a 1-3 win against Wigan.

Given that the home team won the recent home victory and the guest won theirs away from home, let's consider the strength of the teams they defeated individually.

In the case of the home team, the victory was over Hull, who are above them in the table. Meanwhile, the Royals defeated Wigan, who are below them in the table. From this we can see that Barnsley had a more challenging victory.

However, Reading are ahead of Barnsley in the league table with their overall performance. So the odds are tied again in the matchup. Therefore, the chances of a draw are wide as both teams have equal chances of winning the game.

From now on, it's safer to bet on double in favor of reading, as they are generally better. Also, we can expect the total targets to be less than 3,5 targets.
