Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Burton or Reading are in the sort of form that would leave us feeling confident in tipping a match winner, so we've opted for over 1.5 goals. The statistics tell us that both have a proven record in this market, both individually and when going head-to-head. We're predicting there's a 76% chance of two goals or more.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 46% chance of Reading coming away with a win.
