England – The Championship

Venue: Madejski Stadium.
Jaap Stam can be thrilled with his team’s performances against the fellow promotional candidates in the last two rounds.
Reading picked up super important wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United without conceding a single goal.
The Royals will thus come in the game with the relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers in an excellent mood looking to maintain the fine shape.
Reading
Reading are now only a single point a3way from the third-placed Huddersfield, but more importantly – the team showed they have what it takes to see off the main rivals in the battle for the promotion.
The Royals are especially dominant on the home pitch where they have three wins and a draw (goalless with Newcastle United) in the last four games.
Blackburn Rovers
The RIversiders just can’t catch the breakthrough and escape the danger area.
The team led by Tony Mowbray had a very tough away fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend. The narrow 1-0 defeat was the first after four consecutive draws and seven games without a defeat.
Reading vs Blackburn Rovers: Head to head
Blackburn have historically been somewhat of a tough rival for Reading. The Royals have no more than two wins in 11 head to head meetings with the Rovers.
The match from the first part of the season has, however, seen Reading ending the negative trend after a 92nd minute winner from George Evans (it ended 2-3 at Ewood Park).
Reading vs Blackburn Rovers: Prediction
We can again expect a rock-solid defense from Reading. The visitors should also have the careful approach because a point from Madejski would be huge for Tony Mowbray and his men.
We don’t see a beauty or a goal fest. One or none goals will most likely make the difference on Tuesday evening.
