Their more recent scorelines reveal that much respect should be given to the Reading rearguard. Reading have kept it tight, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous six clashes standing at 4. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, though.

Pre-game facts show that Reading:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Peterborough United in their previous 3 games.
• are unbeaten in their last 7 league matches at home.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Peterborough United might well have a job on their hands to put one past this Reading side who we reckon will manage to score & go ahead.

Therefore, we predict a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 advantage for Reading at full-time.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
