Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet
Knowing that they can move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots on Tuesday night, Bolton will travel to Berkshire when they meet Reading.
Starting with the hosts, while Reading might have got February underway with an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at AFC Wimbledon, it appears that result was nothing more than a minor blip for Leam Richardson’s camp. Last seen over the weekend securing their own dramatic 3-2 victory against Wycombe, the Royals have won three of their previous four League One appearances. Likewise, the Berkshire-based outfit have also suffered just a sole defeat from any of their last six outings. Opening Tuesday’s showdown sat just three points adrift of skyrocketing into the play-off places, Reading should also be excited by their extended success on home soil. Unbeaten in front of their own supporters since the start of December, Richardson’s side have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. Including consecutive 2-2 stalemates against Exeter and Barnsley last month, the Royals have seen their last three home fixtures produce 13 goals at both ends of the pitch.
As for the visitors, although Bolton might have found themselves at the heart of a minor blip on either side of opening the New Year, Steven Schumacher’s side have come roaring back in a stellar fashion. Skyrocketing their way up the League One standings, the Trotters know that they can move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots here. Despite being last seen over the weekend playing out a 1-1 stalemate away at Lincoln, the former Plymouth boss has seen his high-flying squad register 13 points from their previous five appearances. In fact, Tuesday’s guests are unbeaten in all of their last seven League One showdowns (five wins, two draws). Getting February underway with a rollercoaster 3-2 victory against Barnsley, Schumacher’s side have also suffered just a sole defeat away from the Toughsheet Community Stadium is far this calendar year. It should also be noted, Bolton have seen four of their last five outings finish with both teams finding the net.
