In my opinion Sheffield have really good chances to make 3 points in today's match up.

First match of the season between both teams finished with Sheffield home win. In addition to that they won last 4 consecutive matches at this stadium so they have big mental advantage.

In last round Sheffield lost on away against 4th Blackburn, but that wasn't deserved result as they had higher expected goals scored number than opponents. They wants to bounce back on good track today. Sheffield have all required tools to make it happen. They coming here with very strong line up, only one key players is unavailable: defender Ahmedhodzic.

Reading coming for this game with confidence on the lowest possible level - in last round they lost 0:5 on the road against Middlesbrough. In addition to that today they are without important defenders Rahman & Hutchinson, key midfielder Loum, key wingers Hoillet & Long and top scorer Ince. It's huge blow and should have very bad impact on their performance today.

On those circumstances Reading looks like perfect opponents for Sheffield to break bad streak.

在我看来，谢菲尔德在今天的比赛中很有机会拿下 3 分。

两队本赛季的首场比赛以谢菲尔德主场获胜告终。除此之外，他们在这个球场连续赢了四场比赛，所以他们在心理上有很大的优势。

谢菲尔德上轮客场负于排名第4的布莱克本，但这并不值得，因为他们的预期进球数高于对手。他们希望今天能重回正轨。谢菲尔德拥有实现这一目标所需的所有工具。他们带着非常强大的阵容来到这里，只有一名关键球员无法上场：后卫艾哈迈德霍季奇。

雷丁的信心不足——上轮他们在客场 0:5 输给了米德尔斯堡。除此之外，今天他们还没有重要的后卫拉赫曼和哈钦森、关键的中场球员卢姆、关键的边锋霍伊莱特和朗以及最佳射手因斯。这是巨大的打击，应该会对他们的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。

在这种情况下，雷丁看起来是谢菲尔德的完美对手。
