Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's unlikely that this match will serve up more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics are in line with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Mansfield and Reading have seldom been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in League One individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a strong favourite WDW or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.33.
