Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 74% chance of Huddersfield and Reading 3 goals or less combined during this League One game according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on latest form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.36.
