Reading have taken five points from their last five; Brentford have taken 8 points from their last five. Form gives little away going into this EFL Cup tie.
Reading average 1.3 goals per game and Brentford manage 2.3. Combined that's just 3.6. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Brentford have goals in them (2.3 per game) but their record at the back (1.3 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
