Betting suggestion:

Despite playing away from home, Cardiff comes into this match with great favoritism and we agree with that. The away club has a squad with several individual weapons and in addition the attack is very finalizing and is expected to create the best chances to score goals. On the other hand, Reading faces a lot of difficulties in this league start: 2 losses in 2 games. Having said that and taking these factors into account, we believe that Cardiff, even on unfamiliar grounds, will be able to earn at least one point.

However, it should be noted that the home team went disastrously into the championship, losing both meetings against Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City.
