Reading started the season in a terrible way - three matches, three losses, and only one goal scored. The problems in attack are obvious, although lately some light at the end of the tunnel is being noticed, aiming for their cup victory over Portsmouth, which however seems more like an exception rather than a sign of real improvement.
Bolton with stability at home
The hosts have already shown that they can play solidly in front of their home crowd, after convincingly beating Plymouth 2-0 in their last home game. Despite experiencing some difficulties in attack, Bolton's defense stands firm and rarely allows clear goal-scoring opportunities. Against a team like Reading, which is quite toothless in the attacking positions, this could be a decisive factor.
Prediction: Bolton to win to nil
Considering Reading's poor form and lack of effectiveness in attack, the hosts appear to be favorites not only for victory but also for keeping a clean sheet. A win for Bolton and a clean sheet for them stands out as the most logical outcome for this match.
