Two Championship sides go head-to-head in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Paul Ince’s Reading side come into this one on the back of a 1-0 away defeat against West Brom, while Watford are struggling for consistancy.

This FA Cup tie should be perfect for both teams to put their Championship title ambitions to one side.

Reading v Watford Odds

Reading are the bookies’ favourites here, partly because they have the advantage of playing at home.

The Royals can be backed at 6/4 to progress to the next round of the FA Cup while the away side Watford are available at the slightly larger price of 7/4.

Paul Ince’s men have also had a fairly decent run of form lately, winning three of their last six matches.

However, it’s fair to point out that Reading have a tendency to fall short when they go up against Watford; as they lost five of their last six skirmishes with the Hornets.

Although Watford have had their fair share of struggles recently, we are fairly confident that they’ll hold out for at least 90 minutes.

Reading FC v Watford Prediction

Reading and Watford have faced off a handful of times, and those meetings have not featured a lot of goals so we expect this game to be tight.

Six of the last seven clashes between these teams saw less than three goals scored so it makes sense for you to look at the under goals prediction.

Watford have also failed to score in four of their last six matches which further strengthens this prediction.

Considering seven of the Hornets’ last eight games went below the 2.5 goal line, this will likely be a low-scoring affair and thats our prediction on the game today.
