Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson favours the hosts, who should fancy their chances against a leaky Reading defence.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| AFC Wimbledon to win | 7/5 | Wimbledon were beaten 3-0 at promotion-fancied Huddersfield but are much better than that at home. Reading conceded four in a 4-3 loss to Luton and look defensively fragile. |
| Both teams to score | 4/5 | Reading scored three in their opener but shipped four, and Wimbledon will sense opportunity at home. Goals at both ends look a strong possibility. |

How AFC Wimbledon go into the game
Wimbledon endured a tough opening day, well beaten 3-0 at Huddersfield. Plough Lane, however, is a very different proposition and they will expect a strong response in front of their own fans.
Spirited and well-supported, Wimbledon are a different side at home. Against a Reading team leaking goals, they will fancy their chances of a first win.
How Reading go into the game
Reading opened with a wild 4-3 home defeat to Luton, showing attacking spark but alarming defensive frailty. Tightening up at the back is the immediate priority on the road.
The Royals clearly carry a goal threat, but conceding four at home is a major concern. They will need to defend far better at Plough Lane to take anything.
