How it turned out

We projected about 2.3 goals and the game finished with 2. Both teams scored. We made Reading or Draw 70%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.3 goals from Reading and 1.0 from Bradford, so Reading come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Bradford come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

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 70 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 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 two of their last five.
✓Bradford have won three of their last five.
