Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Rotherham or Reading are in the kind of form that would have us feeling very confident in tipping a match winner, so we've opted for over 1.5 goals. The statistics show that both have a proven record in this market, both individually and when going head-to-head. Our predictive algorithm suggests there's a 77% chance of two goals or more.
