Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting there's minimal chance that this fixture will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Reading and Wrexham have rarely treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in League One individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.36.
