Tuesday evening, from 20:00 pm, Reading receives a visit from Leeds United at Madjeski Arena. The team from the south of England has a great chance to realize the surprise, and the Romanian striker George Puscas is announced headline in the gear of the “royalists”.
Reading is far from promising, although it has linked a good number of results at one point. The blue-blue have lost only one match in the last five, but are in 18th place (golaveraj 19-21), with 5 successes in 16 matches. Reading fans know, however, that a series of three or four consecutive wins could bring Puscas’ team closer to the Top 6!
Leeds United have a tough fight with Preston, Fulham and West Bromwich Albion for the win, and Marcelo Bielsa’s team is now in second place (23-10). With 10 wins in 17 matches, Leeds have only two points to recover from the WBA leader, who has won the last three stages, as has the Northern England team. On Tuesday night, Leeds have the full lot, while the hosts are without Adam and Obita, both of whom were hit.
Reading comes after a 0-1 draw at Brentford, in the previous stage, after strong victories at home, with Luton (3-0), Milwall (2-1) and Preston (1-0). Puscas played in all these games and had appreciated performances, even if he did not stick so easily. And Leeds are doing very well, with successes ahead of QPR (2-0), Blackburn (2-1) and Luton (2-1). We will see a spectacular match, in which Reading will have to come to the game at some point. Leeds took the lead 3-0 away, after an open game, as could the return.
PREDICTION: Leeds to win @ 1,83
