Cambridge vs Reading is a League One clash at the Abbey Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3:00pm UK kick-off), with in-form Reading fancied.
Anthony Eadson has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this League One clash below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is with in-form Reading, and Marriott to keep scoring.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Reading to win | 7/4 | Reading have been the form team going forward, rattling in 11 goals in just four games and sitting ninth despite playing a game fewer than most around them. Cambridge are steady in seventh but have already shipped eight, and this Reading attack looks a level above. At 7/4 for the in-form Royals to win at the Abbey, there is real value. |
| Jack Marriott to be first goalscorer | 5/1 | Marriott is the division’s joint-top scorer with five goals in four games and is in blistering early-season form. Against a Cambridge side that concedes plenty of chances at home, 5/1 about the striker opening the scoring is a strong, data-driven price on the competition’s most in-form marksman right now. |
