In an intriguing battle between two clubs just outside the League One top six, Reading host Bolton Wanderers in matchday 30 on Saturday. This match at the Select Car Leasing Stadium between the 10th-placed Royals and the 7th-placed Wanderers comes with our prediction of an away win.
Reading has 41 points from 27 matches and is three behind Bolton, with 44 points from 28 matches. The Royals lost 3-2 away at Burton on Tuesday for a fourth defeat in a row for the home team in all competitions.
That includes three league losses, which meant the hosts have lost the initiative in their quest for playoff qualification. Reading lost two of their last four home league games as well, but with seven wins out of the last nine here, they have one of the best home records this season.
The visitors start this round outside the top six only on goal difference and won 3-1 at home against Northampton. That was their second win in a row, but the Wanderers will be wary that they haven’t won three league matches in a row since the start of October.
Bolton’s away form is a worry, but two wins from their last three trips gives them a chance to build up on the 5-2 win in the reverse fixture.

Our Reading vs Bolton Prediction
Bolton thrashed Reading 5-2 in the reverse fixture and another win here will keep them firmly in the top-six chase. Reading can turn the tables on Bolton with a win by getting level on points and even going above them on the points tally. However, the Royals have struggled in recent times with four defeats in a row. Although their home record is among the best, Reading has seen things go in a downward spiral with two defeats in a row. Our Reading v Bolton prediction is Bolton wins the match.
