With a last 4 of 3 draws and a loss (and a -2 goal differential), the Royals head off to Wales for a Championship match against Cardiff City. The Bluebirds are also looking for improvement, with one win, a loss and two draws (and only one goal scored) in their last 4 matches. Reading sits 7th in the current Championship Table, on 24 points and a +8 goals differential, while Cardiff is 9th on 22 points and +3. It's not unreasonable for fans of each club to see this match as a potential turn-around for their club, but to dread a possible draw and fear a loss. Reading have scored 6 times as many goals over those last 4 matches as Cardiff - a comforting stat for the Royals fans - but conceded eight times as many - cheery thoughts for Bluebird fans there. Can RFC tighten up their suddenly-leaky defense and continue to score? Or can Cardiff get a goal and shut down the Reading attack? What do you expect from this away match?

Points System

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Cardiff 1-3 Reading and the result is Cardiff 1-3 Reading.
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Cardiff 1-3 Reading and the result is Cardiff 0-2 Reading.
5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Cardiff 1-3 Reading and the result is Cardiff 2-3 Reading
1 point - if you get the prediction completely wrong, you still get one point for taking part!

Bonus Points

You get bonus points for three things:

5 points - correct half-time score
2 points - correct goalscorers, for each goalscorer predicted that does indeed score (NOTE: this season you get points for correctly predicting the goalscorers of only Reading FC. You only get the points if Reading score the same amount of goals as you predicted or more.)
5 points - correctly predicting the 'bonus question' within the specified tolerance. If one person comes closest to the actual value, that person will receive 7 points, but if two or more are both equally close, only the 5 points will be awarded.

Please put the score in this format:

Cardiff 1-3 Reading (HT: 0-2) [Home x-y Away format]
Williams
Blackman
Sa

...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'...

What will be the time of the first Reading goal in this match, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within seven minutes of the posted BBC time. If you do not expect Reading to score :-/ , please make your prediction 'None'.

Good luck to each predictor and to the Royals!

Not confident at all, but we're due a win surely.
