Key facts

⚽

Open Games Both teams score in 75% of Reading's matches this season

▸ Form & goals

Stevenage average 0.9 goals per game and Reading manage 1.3. Combined that's just 2.1. We make it only 41% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 45%.

▸ Team news & context

Stevenage do it the hard way: only 0.9 a game up top, but a mean 0.9 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break.

▸ Other markets: scorelines, scorers, cards & first half
