Reading vs Blackburn Rovers Tips and Prediction

Paul Ince had a difficult issue to deal with at Reading because Reading entered the Championship season as one of the three teams with the least odds to be relegated.

In spite of the club receiving a six-point deduction for breaking financial fairplay rules, the former England midfielder kept the Royals in the Premier League with a few games to spare after taking over as manager in February.

In the interim, Ince must make sure that his players concentrate on improving on the field. Should Reading’s business plan not meet the standards that were outlined to them by the English Football League’s regulatory body last October, the threat of another six-point penalty looms.

Two road losses have so far been sandwiched between a home victory over Cardiff City and a home loss to possible relegation rivals Rotherham, the latter of which dealt the Berkshire-based club a devastating blow to its already dwindling morale on Saturday.

The Reading goalkeeper Joe Lumley did not make a single save throughout the full 90 minutes as Paul Warne’s team put on a clinical performance, scoring all four goals before halftime.

On Wednesday, Ince will play league leaders Blackburn at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in the hopes of inciting a significant response. However, as their humiliating EFL Cup exit at the hands of Stevenage last week demonstrated, Ince will need more than just their home crowd to succeed.

Despite Blackburn’s eighth-place finish in the previous campaign, little was expected of them this time around due to the departure of several important first-team players and the perplexing choice to switch Tony Mowbray’s position as manager to Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Despite Blackburn’s eighth-place finish in the previous campaign, little was expected of them this time around due to the departure of several important first-team players and the perplexing choice to switch Tony Mowbray’s position as manager to Jon Dahl Tomasson.

However, following a stellar start to life under the former Denmark striker’s management, Rovers join Leyton Orient of League Two as the only Football League team with a 100% record after only three games.

Although Tomasson had previously managed Malmo, where he twice won the Swedish Allsvenskan division, he had previously only managed Excelsior and Roda JC in the Netherlands. As a result, there was a lot of skepticism surrounding the appointment, especially after Mowbray had generally done well on a modest budget.

But in the early stages of the season, Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City, and West Brom have all been eliminated, with Rovers scoring six goals overall before finally giving up their first goal of the year when Grady Diangana pulled one back for the Baggies over the weekend.

The 45-year-old used four attackers, including Ben Brereton Diaz, Sam Gallagher, Sammie Szmodics, and Ryan Hedges, while injured Bradley Dack contributed with a goal in the 4-0 victory over Hartlepool United in the EFL Cup last week. Tomasson’s offensive approach has been a breath of fresh air in an increasingly conservative division.

It is debatable whether his team can extend its winning streak, but they will be confident of doing so against a hopeless Reading team on Wednesday.

Conclusion

Given their recent better results and stronger confidence levels, we can imagine the tourists rioting.Due to Diaz and Gallagher’s excellent goal-scoring form right now and Joao’s continued absence due to injury, Reading lacks a consistent supply of goals and appears to be weak defensively.
