Birmingham Away at Reading

Birmingham travel to Reading tonight in the Sky Bet Championship. Given the scoreline the last time these two met it could be a game of significant interest to the neutral. The Royals are down the bottom of the league and may well be dejected after losing their FA Cup semi-final to Arsenal.

Blues will be desperate to end their bad away form tonight and continue their run-in form. They have lost 5 of their last 6 away, the most recent a 1-0 loss to 1st placed Watford.

Reading’s home form is not great reading either. Just 1 win in their last 6 coming back in March; 2-1 over Brighton.

Neither team are particularly prolific in front of goal at the moment and I would again say that an away 1-1 draw would be a good result for Blues. Given that we struggle at teams below us in the league.

Reading have failed to score in their last 5/7 in the league, something they will be desperate to end tonight. They have not won in their last 6 games.

The last time these two teams met it ended 6-1 to Blues on a day that literally everything went in for the home side. This may well play against Blues this time, I doubt Reading’s manager will need to deliver much of a team talk.

The home side will go down the sides tonight and try and delvier balls into the box frequently. That means a wide style of play and plenty to do for Jonathan Grounds defending the left side for Blues.

Oliver Norward is the player I’m picking out for Blues to watch tonight. He likes to play behind the striker and has performed well for Reading this season. He has 5 assist and will want to add more.

Also – A quick apology, our coverage has taken a hit lately, unfortunately other things I have going on are just absorbing my time, I’m still keeping in touch with whats going on and the site will return to full strength over the summer. Thanks for sticking with us! I know the more coverage of Blues the better.
