Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Reading and Luton will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Leam Richardson or Jack Wilshere has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.25 equating to approximately a 77% probability.
