Reading and Bristol City will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 17 clash on Saturday (October 22).

The hosts are coming off a 3-2 defeat at Swansea City on Tuesday. They took a two-goal lead through Yakou Meite and Tom Ince, but a second-half fightback saw the Swans claim maximum points.

Bristol, meanwhile, triumphed 2-0 at West Brom in their last outing Joe Williams and Nahki Wells scored first-half goals to inspire the Robins to victory.

The win saw Nigel Pearson's side climb to 12th in the standings, having garnered 21 points from 16 games. Reading are two places and a point better off, having played a game less.

Reading vs Bristol City Prediction

Reading have not been at their best in recent weeks, winless in their last four games. Bristol have the opportunity to climb above their hosts with a win and will fancy their chances, having won their last two meetings in this fixture.

Reading could take advantage of the visitors' leaky defence, so the spoils could be shared in a high-scoring draw.
