Tottenham vs Reading

29/12- A classic fight between two sides packed together on the points table can be expected when the 13^th placed Tottenham play hosts to the 12^th placed Reading. The difference between the sides is just one position on the points table and that too with just a point separating the two. However Tottenham seem to be on a move and their last week’s demolition of Fulham was something to go by, the 5-1 score line would be playing on the Reading players mind. Reading on the other hand have been doing pretty nice as well, they have converted 2 of their last 5 matches into wins while the other have been draws. They also played well enough against West Ham in an away tie to get a point out of the match.

 

Being at home, Tottenham have been in the best of forms as they have lost 4 of the 9 matches played but they have scored in every match played in the premiership and that is something that might have worked in their favor but Reading also has the same record against their name and hence the fans can at least expect a goal from both teams. However Tottenham have scored nearly twice every match and with the likes of Keane and Bent firing, the front line can be quite difficult to handle for the struggling Reading defense.

 

Reading on the other hand will also be facing a strong opposition from the crowd and another fact against them is that they have not won a single away match this season. Another worrying fact is that they have conceded far too many goals and their defensive line has been the third worst in the premiership this season. The side would be missing Gunnarsson after he was red carded on the 26^th in the match against West Ham, they would be hoping that they can fire via Kitson, Doyle and Hunt

 

Prediction: 2-1, Tottenham win
