THE PREDICTION
If seventh-placed Reading wish to sneak into the playoff spots come the end of the season, only three points will do at home to Swansea. The Royals are currently six points behind Barnsley, however with one point from their last three league games, they are showing signs of potential burnout. Swansea enter this one off the back of a 0-1 defeat at home to QPR with the absence of striker Andre Ayew due to injury a key factor in them lacking any potency in front of goal. Ayew is expected to miss this match, which immediately provides Reading with a huge boost leading into this one. This is simply do or die for the hosts and with home advantage in their favour, consider them here draw no bet as Reading have won three of their last four Championship games at the Madejski Stadium.
