What to expect

We expect about 1.7 goals from Reading and 1.4 from Stockport, so Reading come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: Reading or Draw. This covers Reading or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 68 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.

What the numbers say
✓Reading have won three of their last five.
✓Stockport have won three of their last five.
✓Two of the last four meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in three of the last four meetings.
