Preston vs Reading Prediction :
Both teams need as many points as possible for their respective goals. With six league games remaining, the Lancashire team will be eager to make up for their two-point gap with the top six. Reading’s story is different because they lost six points and fell into the bottom three.
As they attempt to escape danger, their poor away record may also work against them. We are backing Ryan Lowe’s Preston North End to win comfortably given their recent home form.
