In my opinion Reading have bigger chances to avoid loss in this game than bookies wants to suggest for us in their odds.

Obviously, Reading situation is very hard - club have a lot of financial problems and have been relegated from the Championship and have slim chances to bounce back there at the end of the season, but so far they looking than many people's predicted. Reading is a young team with very good coach for this level Ruben Selles (he had matches on Southampton bench in Premier League). Reading made 6 points in first 5 matches, but they should make more. They scored 4 goals, but according to the expected goals scored model they should score 6.2. They conceded 4 goals and they should 3.7 (it's second-lowest expected goals conceded number in whole league!). Last Tuesday they played in EFL Cup against Ipswich from Championship and lost after penalties. Despite the loss, that was solid performance and that should be good boost of confidence for the players. Coach Selles said: "They played a good game of football and showed that they can compete against really top teams. We are proud of their performance and the work they are putting in. Just unfortunately we didn't get the result in the end." Atmosphere in team is good, midfielder Craig said: "I feel extremely fortunate at the moment to be working under a manager who is not afraid to put us into the game and trusts us to go out and do a job on the pitch.

There are a lot of positives from tonight that we can take into the league."

Cambridge lost two of last 3 matches and looked really bad in last round game against Leyton Orient (0:2 on away). Coach Mark Bonner said: "We weren’t very good and they were excellent causing us problems all afternoon. It’s not a wake-up call because we don’t think we’re the best team in the league so it’s a wake-up call for others, not us.The goals we conceded were very poor and when the second went in we looked like a team that couldn’t wait to finish the game." - For me that sounds very weird.

In pre-season Cambridge lost their best scorer from previous season Sam Smith and best assistant Harvey Knibbs.. Both of them now in Reading! For sure they can give some good advices about team weakness, it's huge advantage for guests.

For me Reading are better team, in better form and with better coach on the bench. They have all required tools to win this game.

在我看来，雷丁在这场比赛中避免输球的机会比博彩公司给我们的赔率要大。

显然，雷丁的处境非常艰难——俱乐部有很多财政问题，已经从英冠降级，在赛季结束后反弹的机会渺茫，但到目前为止，他们看起来比许多人预测的要好。雷丁是一支年轻的球队，有着非常优秀的教练鲁本·塞莱斯(他曾在英超联赛中担任南安普顿的替补)。雷丁在前5场比赛中得到了6分，但他们应该得到更多。他们进了4个球，但根据预期进球得分模型，他们应该得6.2分。他们丢了4个球，他们应该丢3.7个(这是整个联赛第二低的预期失球数!)上周二，他们在联赛杯中对阵英冠的伊普斯维奇，并在点球后输球。尽管输球了，但这是一场稳定的比赛，这应该能很好地增强球员们的信心。塞莱斯教练说:“他们踢得很好，证明了他们可以与真正的顶级球队竞争。我们为他们的表现和所付出的努力感到骄傲。只是不幸的是，我们最终没有得到这个结果。”球队的气氛很好，中场球员克雷格说:“我感到非常幸运，现在我能在一个不怕让我们投入比赛的教练手下工作，他相信我们能在球场上完成工作。”

今晚有很多积极的东西，我们可以带到联盟中去。”

剑桥在最近的3场比赛中输掉了2场，在上一轮对阵莱顿东方的比赛中表现非常糟糕(客场0:2)。教练马克·邦纳说:“我们踢得不是很好，他们整个下午都给我们制造麻烦。这不是一个警钟，因为我们不认为我们是联盟中最好的球队，所以这是对其他人的警钟，而不是我们。我们丢的球非常糟糕，当第二个球进的时候，我们看起来像是一支迫不及待想要结束比赛的球队。”-对我来说这听起来很奇怪。

在季前赛中，剑桥失去了上赛季最好的得分手山姆·史密斯和最佳助理哈维·尼布斯。他们俩现在都在雷丁!当然，他们可以对团队的弱点给出一些好的建议，这对客人来说是巨大的优势。

对我来说，雷丁是一支更好的球队，状态更好，板凳上的教练也更好。他们都需要赢得这场比赛的工具。
