Reading vs Bristol City Prediction

Reading have not been at their best in recent weeks, winless in their last four games. Bristol have the opportunity to climb above their hosts with a win and will fancy their chances, having won their last two meetings in this fixture.

Reading could take advantage of the visitors' leaky defence, so the spoils could be shared in a high-scoring draw.
