THE PREDICTION
Reading got their promotion challenge back on track at the weekend with a much needed 0-1 triumph away to relegation strugglers Rotherham. Against an out of form Blackburn, the Royals have a golden opportunity here to make it two successive Championship wins which would firmly cement their spot in the playoff places, leaving the chasing pack outside of the top six with much to do in order to catch them. With Blackburn having accrued just one point from their last six Championship games, a motivated Reading represent a very difficult challenge for Tony Mowbray’s injury-hit side and a home win looks very much on the cards in this one.
