Under 2.5 goals

Nigel Pearson is doing a super job at Leciester, maybe not playing the greatest football we have ever seen in the championship but he gets results and that is the be all and end all in football. When you think of the fact they were a league 1 side not long ago and fought relegation from the championship last season it is quite remarkable that win here would put them into the top 6.

It is one of the fittest sides in this division and superbly organised. You never see them fold or lose cheap goals- it always tough to break them down and no surprise when the after match stats say there was only a couple of shots on the Leciester goal.

Also interesting that the side has no injury worries at this time.

Reading have never recovered from dropping out of the epl. There is the come-down ofcourse but also the fact that every side wants to beat a team who were a big name. Also they lost their star striker to Wolves for 6million and that was the last thing shot shy Reading needed.

Only a couple of goals at home all season for Reading. They have one of the poorest scoring records in british football at home over the last 2 seasons. They must sort that out or we might well me watching them go down once again. 3rd bottom relegation is a worry.

This should be a close game between 2 sides who dont give much away. Leciester are super in defence, while Reading have big problems in attack. I guess that suggest the obvious bet is City to win- no not for me il go for a low scoring game and under 3 goals.

Reading v Leciester under 2.5 goals with paddypower at 1.67
