In round 20 of the English Championship, Preston will go on the road to face Reading looking for a good result that can allow them to enter the promotion playoff zone at least until all the games are finished. They have been on a good form lately, so we suggest betting for an away win or draw.

Preston really comes rising to this game, as they have won their last two games and are drawin nearer to the promotion spots. The squad currently has 28 points after 19 games and they are only one unit away from the sixth spot, that is the last one that qualifies for the promotion playoffs. Grabbing one of this spots is the biggest goal for the team.

Another confidence booster for the team is knowing that playing away has seen some of their best moments so far in the season. They are the third best team of the competition when playing far from home, gathering a total of 15 points in nine games, so they can sure be a headache for any host and they will try to prove this once again.

In contrast, Reading has not shown their best face in recent weeks, collecting only four points in their last five games (one win, one draw and three losses). This way, they threw away a good start of the league that could see them fighting for the top spots in order to be mid table contenders. Clearly, a change of shape is really needed.

在英超联赛的第20轮中，普雷斯顿将客场挑战雷丁，希望取得一个好成绩，至少在所有比赛结束前，他们可以进入升级季后赛区。他们最近状态不错，所以我们建议押注他们在客场取胜或打平。

普雷斯顿在这场比赛中真的崛起了，因为他们已经赢得了最近的两场比赛，并且离升级的位置越来越近。目前球队在19场比赛后拿到28分，他们距离第六名只有一个单位的距离，第六名是最后一个有资格晋级季后赛的球队。抓住其中一个位置是团队的最大目标。

另一个增强球队信心的因素是知道客场比赛见证了他们本赛季迄今为止最好的时刻。他们在客场比赛中排名第三，在9场比赛中总共得到15分，所以他们肯定会让任何东道主头疼，他们会再次证明这一点。

相比之下，雷丁最近几周表现不佳，最近5场比赛(1胜1平3负)只拿到4分。这样，他们丢掉了一个良好的开始，可以看到他们争夺榜首的位置，为了成为中游的竞争者。显然，我们真的需要改变一下外形。
