How it turned out

We projected about 2.8 goals; the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Over 1.5 goals 72%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.6 goals from Reading and 1.2 from Blackpool, so Reading come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This does not need a goal rush: we make it around 2.7 goals (xG 1.4-1.2), and two is enough to land it, landing about 74% of the time on these numbers.

We put the chance of that landing at about 72 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.24, which works out at about 81 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Reading have won one of their last five.
✓Blackpool have won three of their last five.
✓Four of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in one of the last five meetings.
