Championship survival is at stake as Bolton take on Reading in a clash featuring two of the bottom three sides in the league.
Picking up wins against the teams around you is undoubtedly the recipe when it comes to avoiding relegation. With that in mind, the winners of this upcoming clash between Bolton and Reading will be given an almighty boost in their bid to avoid the drop and maintain their Championship status.
Earlier this season, Bolton claimed a slender win over Reading and are now looking to record their first league double over the Royals since their Premier League days of 2007/08.
If Bolton are to get the double they’ll certainly have to tidy things up at the back. Phil Parkinson’s side have claimed just one clean sheet in their last 20 games across all competitions.
What’s more, they have only attempted 37 shots on target at home this season in the Championship. Only bottom-of-the-table Ipswich have less with 36.
Reading, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last four league games at the Macron Stadium and last season, Jose Manuel Gomes’ side came back from 2-0 down to salvage a point.
More recently, the Royals have won just one of their last 23 away games in all competitions. The visitors are priced at around 9/5 to take all three points back to London.
With both teams in dire straits, it may be best to have a look at the 23/10 bet on a draw. Two of the previous three clashes have produced a tie making this an attractive price.
