Match analysis

Brentford have scored six or more goals twice in their last five matches, and Superior backs them to win outright at Reading on 15 September through the Asian Handicap, priced at 1.32 and read at 49 percent. Reading have shown control of their own games, but nothing in their recent form suggests they can live with an attack scoring at this rate.

Brentford have scored sixteen goals across three wins this run

Brentford's attack has been the standout feature of their last five matches: wins by 6-1, 3-0 and 7-0 sandwiched around two 1-1 draws, sixteen goals from just three games. That scoring rate, backed by an away attack rating among the stronger marks Brentford have shown this season, is the basis for taking them on the handicap rather than only to win. Reading have their own unbeaten run over the same stretch, but it has come without facing an attack scoring at anything close to this pace.

Reading have not lost in their last five matches, winning 5-0 at home

The way this handicap loses is Reading's own unbeaten run continuing: three wins and two draws in their last five without a single defeat, including a 5-0 win at home in that stretch. If Reading's defence holds the way it has all season and their own attack clicks even modestly, the away win Superior is backing here does not materialise. Brentford's scoring has come in bursts rather than every match, with two of their last five finishing level at 1-1, so a quieter night from their attack is not out of the question against a Reading side that has not been beaten recently.
