Reading will lose again
When talking about predictions for this game, there is only really one direction that stats lead you in and that's that Huddersfield win. Reading haven't won in seven games having lost five of them – including the last four. At the same time, Huddersfield haven't lost in eight and have won four of their last six. Throw in the fact that Huddersfield hit Reading for four earlier in this campaign and a Reading victory looks highly unlikely. In fact, the Royals will do well to get anything from this game.
We'll see goals
Our over 2.5 goals prediction is one where we're opting for betting value rather than selecting an outcome that is “nailed on”. Huddersfield are the side that put an element of doubt on our tip courtesy of just two of their last three going over 2.5. The form of Reading, however, quickly swings back in favour of the over 2.5 tip. Four of their past five games have gone over the required threshold with an average of 3.8 goals per game. The head to head record carries promise too; the last three meetings have all seen at least three goals.

Reading vs Huddersfield: It's predicted lineup time
Come August both of these sides could be kicking off new campaigns in different leagues with Huddersfield narrowly outside the playoffs right now whilst Reading are looking fearfully over their shoulder above the drop zone. Three points would be hugely valuable to both when they meet but for very different reasons.
Reading Predicted Lineup
Sometimes when you suffer a humiliating loss – like Reading did to Fulham – it galvanises the troops to come back stronger. The doesn't look like being the case at Reading. In fact, they look limp and lifeless. That needs to change very, very quickly because the sides around them are showing much more than them at present.
Predicted lineup – Southwood, Ashcroft, Holmes, Morrison, Bristow, Drinkwater, Laurent, Clarke, Swift, Dele-Bashiru,
Huddersfield Predicted Lineup
Huddersfield are in a good patch of form and will be confident of making the playoffs come May. Their main thing coming into this match will be to remain focussed and professional. If they do that, they should take maximum points.
Predicted lineup – Nicholls, Turton, Pearson, Lees, Thomas, Hogg, O'Brien, Toffolo, Sinani, Koroma, Ward
