The 1st week of 2023 is going to start with many games in England Championship. One of them is going to be between West Brom and Reading. After 25 games played, West Brom has 9 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses, a total of 35 points and 12th place in the standings while Reading has 11 wins, 3 draws, 11 losses, a total of 36 points and 11th place. In this game, I'm predicting that West Brom is going to win.

The start of the season wasn't the best for West Brom. In October, Carlos Corberan took over the team and since then the team has played great. Since the break, West Brom has 4 wins and 1 loss. Overall, the team has won 7 out of the last 8 games. At home the team has 5 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, 19 goals scored and 14 conceded. The team has won the last 4 home games, they have scored 8 times and haven't conceded even one goal! West Brom has the 2nd-best home xG (2.12) and 2nd-best xGA (0.98).

Thanks to a late penalty against Norwich, Reading got a draw in the last Championship game. In the last 4 games, Reading has 2 wins and a draw. Reading has very big problems playing on the road. Out of 13 games away from home, Reading has only 3 wins and 2 draws. The team has scored 11 times on the road (one of the worst results in the league) and conceded 23 goals (the worst result). Reading has only the 16th-best xG on the road (1.14) and the 11th-best xGA (1.52).

In the last 8 away games, Reading has only 1 win and 2 draws. Historical results are in favor of West Brom. In the last 7 meetings between both teams, West Brom has won 5 and 4 wins have been in the last 2 seasons. At home, West Brom has won 4 out of the last 5 Championship meetings. I'm confident that West Brom will win this game as the team has been playing fantastically and Reading very struggle on the road.

2023年的第一周将以英格兰锦标赛的许多比赛开始。其中一场比赛将在西布朗和雷丁之间进行。经过25场比赛，西布朗取得9胜8平8负，积35分，排名第12位;雷丁取得11胜3平11负，积36分，排名第11位。在这场比赛中，我预测西布朗队会赢。

对于西布朗队来说，赛季开始并不是最好的。十月份，卡洛斯·科伯兰接管了车队，从那以后，车队表现得很好。自休赛期以来，西布朗取得了4胜1负的战绩。总的来说，这支球队在过去的8场比赛中赢了7场。在主场，球队取得5胜4平4负，进19球失14球。这支球队赢了最近4个主场比赛，他们进了8个球，没有丢过一个球!西布朗拥有第二好的主场xG(2.12)和第二好的xGA(0.98)。

由于最后时刻对诺维奇队的点球，雷丁队在上一场英冠比赛中取得了平局。在过去的4场比赛中，雷丁取得了2胜1平的战绩。雷丁在客场有很大的问题。在13场客场比赛中，雷丁只取得了3胜2平的战绩。球队在客场打进11球(联赛最差成绩之一)，丢23球(联赛最差成绩之一)。雷丁的xG(1.14)和xGA(1.52)分别排名第16和第11。

在过去的8场客场比赛中，雷丁只取得了1胜2平的战绩。历史结果对西布朗有利。在两队最近7次交锋中，西布朗取得了5胜，过去2个赛季取得了4胜。在主场，西布朗在最近5次英冠联赛交锋中赢了4场。我相信西布朗会赢下这场比赛，因为球队踢得非常出色，而雷丁在客场非常艰难。
