Reading vs Cardiff City Prediction
Reading will look to bounce back this weekend as they host Cardiff. They will feel a little hard done by their result in the opening game. They deserved to have got away from the fixture with at least a point in their kitty.
The visitors, on the other hand, will look to make it two in two following their patchy win against Norwich. They also boast a better squad profile compared to Saturday's rivals and will look to utilize their resources to their fullest to stay in the podium places for another week.
Reading will have to put up a solid performance this weekend to get back on track. A draw remains on the cards.
Prediction: Reading 2-2 Cardiff City
