Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This FA Cup clash, with Reading and Burnley going head-to-head, offers plenty of value in the widely used under 2.5 goals market, with a total of 3+ goals being scored seeming highly probable. Attackers on both sides will look to add to their tallies for the season and, having reviewed the relevant stats and odds, we're confident that a bet on over 2.5 goals would be stronger than anything in the WDW market.

Goal Statistics

Burnley's defensive record is to be admired, Scott Parker's men having conceded 1 or less in 26 consecutive FA Cup games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Reading makes sense in this context.
