Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Under 3.5 goals simply means that there will be a maximum of 3 goals scored by Reading and Blackpool combined during a standard 90 mins. Recent form statistics and historical head-to-head (H2H) records have led us to this prediction, and we're suggest there's a 78% chance of it being a winning tip. The top price currently available on under 3.5 goals is 1.36.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Reading are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 40% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 3.60.
