Bournemouth to boost promotion chances with win over Reading

Bournemouth to boost promotion chances with win over Reading
5422

On Tuesday night, Bournemouth host Reading at the Vitality Stadium, in a game that could be vital at both ends of the Championship table.

Bournemouth are currently second place in the English second-tier table, two points clear of third-place Huddersfield who have played three games more. A victory in this clash would put some daylight between the Cherries and the Terriers.

Scott Parker’s team got back to winning ways last time out in the Championship, as they recorded a 2-0 home win over Derby.

The win came on the back of picking up just a point in games against Preston and Peterborough and puts them back on track to claim that second automatic promotion spot this season.

Despite the blips of late, the team from the south coast have still claimed victories in five of their last seven matches in the English second tier.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last four home matches in the Championship, recording three victories in their last four league matches on home soil.

While Bournemouth are mounting a promotion push, Reading are just hoping to be playing Championship football next season.

The Royals are in 21st place in the table, just four points clear of the relegation zone. While it is not panic stations yet, the visitors from Berkshire will be keen to break further clear from the drop zone in the near future.

A run of three straight league defeats has not done much to alleviate the fears that Reading could well be sucked into the league’s bottom three. Last time out, the visitors suffered a 4-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

An away record of six defeats in their last eight league outings on their travels has certainly not made things any easier for the Royals.

Forebet predicts that Bournemouth will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their hopes of sealing a top-two spot this season and Premier League football in the new campaign.
