Fleetwood Town - Reading predictions and free betting tips [13/02/2024]

On 13th February, in League 1, England’s third-tier division, Reading will clash with Fleetwood at Highbury Stadium. Let's take a look at the teams’ conditions and endeavour to make a choice that will increase our bankroll.

Fleetwood

This team's journey in the English divisions started barely over 10 years ago. In the 2009/2010 season, the side first entered the National League. Then, after two seasons, they made it to League 2, and after another two seasons, they went up to League 1. They've since managed to stay at this level for the ninth consecutive season. There've been both highs and lows. The team has been in both 20th and 4th places but has stayed in the third division.

Currently, Fleetwood Town is in 23rd position with 25 points. In the 27th round, they lost to Portsmouth (0:1). They did manage to break their losing streak by drawing against Wycombe (2:2). In their next game, they earned a convincing victory over Port Vale (3:0). This was followed by another win, this time an away victory against Bristol Rovers (2:0). However, they suffered defeat in their last match against Lincoln City with a scoreline of (1:2).

Reading

The squad had been absent from League 1 for a long time, until last season when they were relegated from the Championship, finishing in 23rd place in the league table.    

The team's start to the season was disheartened, due to financial problems they lost 4 points, currently putting them in 18th place. In the 27th round, they unexpectedly defeated Derby County with a minimal score. The next round saw a draw with Leyton Orient (1:1). Then they drew again against Oxford (1:1). Following this, they managed a victory over Stevenage (1:0). And in the last match, they defeated Charlton with a score of (2:0).

Head-to-Head

The last face-off between Reading and Fleetwood was on 24 October 2023. That clash ended with an away victory for Fleetwood with a score of (2:1).

The Forecast

In this clash, I would suggest betting on a zero handicap for the visitors. Reading has been truly demonstrating good football in recent matches. It seems they've managed to tackle the crisis that was there in the first half of the season, as they've started to rapidly gain points, beating even teams in the top ten of the league table.    

Total Betting Prediction

I don't expect a high scoring match from both clubs, so I would place a bet on total goals under 2.5.
