Just a single point separates Plymouth Argyle and Reading as they meet at Home Park on Saturday 31 October, kick-off 12.30pm (UK time), in a League One clash with real promotion significance.
Both sides sit inside the top six and both like to attack, so this has the makings of an open game. Anthony Eadson has picked out two best bets, with the full predictions, head-to-head record and a score prediction below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson previews a Home Park meeting of two in-form attacking sides and lands on two best bets.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Reading Draw No Bet | 11/10 (bet365) | Reading travel to Home Park just a point behind their hosts and carry the sharpest attack in this fixture, with 25 goals in 12 games. Plymouth have been a very different side at home than on their travels, winning three but also losing three of their six at Home Park, with no draws to fall back on. Draw no bet hands the stake back if it finishes level. With Reading unbeaten in both league meetings last season, including a 4-1 win here on Boxing Day, the Royals look well worth siding with. |
| Kyreece Lisbie to score anytime | 3/1 (Sky Bet) | Kyreece Lisbie has been one of Reading’s most reliable attackers. He has started all 12 League One games, playing 999 minutes, and has five goals and four assists from 26 shots, 11 of them on target. That is a goal or assist roughly every 111 minutes for the division’s top scorers, who have 25 league goals. Plymouth Argyle have conceded 19 in 13 games and lost three of their six at Home Park, where Reading won 4-1 on Boxing Day. Sky Bet’s 3/1 is a big price for a player this involved. |

How Plymouth Argyle go into the game
Plymouth Argyle sit fifth on 22 points, a place and a point above Saturday’s visitors. They come in fresh from a 3-2 win away at Cambridge United, though that followed back-to-back defeats, 3-0 at Stevenage and 2-0 at home to Huddersfield Town.
Home Park has been a mixed bag this season, with three wins and three defeats from six and no draws. Plymouth have been more reliable on their travels, winning four of seven away from home.
How Reading go into the game
Reading go into the weekend sixth on 21 points, just one adrift of their hosts, and boasting the sharpest attack in this fixture with 25 goals already. They beat Barnsley 2-1 at home last time out to keep pace near the top.
The question mark is their away form, where just one win in five has been managed, though an emphatic 5-1 win at MK Dons earlier this month showed the firepower they carry on their day.
