Reading:
The team does not get to this game well after losing to Tottenham last Friday (4-1). This will be his second preparation friendly, but the first of great footballing demand. The previous one was against Gillingham FC and was positive after winning 2-1 on August 22.
Apparently it is an eleven that scores and that yields goals with great ease, demonstrating it by not closing the last Championship well. Proof of this were the 3 consecutive defeats he recorded, in which he gave up 10 goals in total (1-2 against Middlesbrough, 4-3 against Blackburn and 1-4 against Swansea).
Reading will most likely move back the lines from the starting whistle, as sooner or later the difference in level between one campus and another will be noticed.
West Ham:
The “Hammer” side faced Brentford last Saturday afternoon and won 2-1 after drawing 1-1 in the first half.
This has been the third preparation friendly for the squad, which is gradually picking up more football rhythm after being immersed in a tough preseason. The first two were more than positive after beating Ipswich 1-4 and crushing Wycombe 1-5.
Now the objective of the players is to curdle a more compact proposal in this new season, since the defense was always the weak point of West Ham. It is enough to know that he conceded 1 goal against lower-level rivals to corroborate this statement.
The logic indicates that the starters play the first half in its entirety, and then give way to several substitutes in the complementary stage.
PREDICTION: West Ham to win @ 1,65
