Bradford CityWWWWLBradford are in great form despite their last result and look good value at that price. Reading are too inconsistent lately to trust at home against such a strong side.
With Bradford scoring freely in their recent run and Reading playing at home there is a strong chance that both teams will manage to score goals.
Both sides have shown they can find the net recently so a price of 1.91 for over 2.5 goals seems like a sensible bet for the afternoon.
This is an opinion, not advice. A model wrote it from the form and the prices on this page. It has no team news and it is not a promise of any result. The call settles itself when the game ends, win or lose. Never stake money you cannot afford to lose. How our calls work
Built from: Form from settled results on this site. Prices from the odds feed.
The market makes Reading the side to beat here at 40%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Bradford City, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Bradford are in great form despite their last result and look good value at that price. Reading are too inconsistent lately to trust at home against such a strong side.
Reading come in solid, winning 45% of 40 on record. 11 of their 21 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.
Bradford City come in solid, winning 50% of 40 on record. 8 of their 20 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 4 wins in a row.
The prices turn into 40% for REA, 28% for the draw and 32% for BRD once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.90, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.
These two have been level across 2 past meetings, 1 wins each and 0 drawn. Nothing in the history separates them.
We back Bradford City for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.
Prices come from the public feed and move all the time. Always check the price on the bookmaker site before you stake.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.
The site model goes for Bradford City at 2.90 because they are in great form and Reading look too inconsistent at home lately. Reading do have home advantage at the Madejski Stadium to help them bounc...
