Anthony Eadson backs Jack Marriott’s Reading to shade a game with goals at both ends.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Reading (draw no bet)20/21 (William Hill)Wycombe are still without a home win in League One this season, drawing with Plymouth and MK Dons and losing 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday at Adams Park. Reading have the division’s top scorer in Jack Marriott, who already has eight league goals, and they have a game in hand on every side bar Oxford. At 20/21, draw no bet protects the stake if the hosts hold on for a point.
Reading to win and both teams to score18/5 (William Hill)Wycombe have scored in all seven of their league games and both teams have scored in six of them, including a 3-3 draw with MK Dons at Adams Park. Reading have scored three or more in three of their four home games but only once in two away trips, so this is a bet on Marriott and company finding their range on the road. At 18/5, the price rewards the risk.

How Wycombe Wanderers go into the game

Wycombe have won their last two on the road, edging Leyton Orient 3-2 and Wigan 1-0, and sit 14th on nine points.

Adams Park has been harder going. They drew 1-1 with Plymouth and 3-3 with MK Dons there and lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday, so they are still hunting a first home league win of the season.

Goals have flowed at both ends. Wycombe have scored in all seven league games but conceded 14, including five in a 5-1 defeat at Stockport, and the 1-0 win at Wigan is their only clean sheet. They also went out of the League Cup at the first hurdle, beaten 2-1 at home by Stevenage.

How Reading go into the game

Reading sit eighth on ten points but have played a game fewer than every side bar Oxford, and last weekend’s 2-0 win over Notts County was their third home league win of the season.

At home they have been prolific, beating Mansfield 5-0 and Blackpool 3-1, although they also lost a seven-goal thriller 4-3 to Luton on the opening day.

Away form is the question. Reading drew 0-0 at AFC Wimbledon and lost 2-1 at Cambridge, so they have scored just once on the road. Jack Marriott has been the constant, scoring eight of their 14 league goals, including a hat-trick against Luton. They also reached the League Cup third round before a 2-1 home defeat by Brentford.
