THE PREDICTION
A hard fought 1-1 draw with Watford meant that Brentford extended their unbeaten Championship record to 12 matches. Here, they host injury hit Reading who put up a brave fight against league leaders Norwich, but ultimately went down 1-2 to the Canaries. Absences to key players have really hit the Royals hard and this should play to Brentford’s advantage here, with Thomas Frank’s side set to take advantage. The Bees boast Championship top scorer Ivan Toney within their ranks and the frontman is expected to play a starring role once again in Brentford picking up another three points.
