Reading vs Northampton Prediction

Reading and Northampton will be at loggerheads on Thursday with both teams seeking to end their winless run.

The host woes continue following a 2-0 loss to Lincoln, sliding to seventh in the league standings.

Meanwhile, they have only lost twice on home soil in their past nine games, as they strive to return to winning ways on Thursday.

Conversely, Northampton is coming off three consecutive defeats to Charlton, Peterborough and Rotherham, with no goals scored.

Reading has a better league form than Northampton and we expect them to show their quality with a victory in this encounter.

Northampton has failed to score in their last three games and we believe Reading’s defense can nullify their weak offensive threat while keeping a clean sheet.
