After another unsuccessful attempt at making the MadStad into Fortress Madejski, the Royals will try again when Bristol City come to visit. Sitting 13th with 30 points from 24 matches, Reading should be a fair favorite over 22nd place Bristol City, on only 21 points, but Reading is on a poor run of form (one win in their last 7 matches, 4 goals scored, 10 conceded) while Bristol City has had slightly better point return but poorer overall goal differential (one win and 2 draws in their last 7, 4 goals scored, 16 conceded). Reading has not always done as well as expected when facing clubs below them in the Table, especially clubs well below them. Perhaps this match can start a new trend in the New Year for these Royals, with more points and goals for and not quite so many against. What are your predictions for this first match of 2016? Points System 10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 4-1 Bristol City and the result is Reading 4-1 Bristol City (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score); 7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Bristol City and the result is Reading 4-1 Bristol City (this result includes a draw with the wrong score e.g. you predict a 1-1 draw and the result is 0-0); 5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 2-0 Bristol City and the result is Reading 4-1 Bristol City; 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. This prevents prediction of ridiculous scorelines for more points.) 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: Reading 4-1 Bristol City (HT: 2-0) [Home x-y Away format] Hector Hurtado Sa ...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'... According to the BBC stats, how many total shots (not just shots on-target) will Reading be credited with in this match? Credit will be given for predictions within two of the official BBC total. If you do not think Reading will get a shot on-goal in the match, please specify 'None' as your prediction. Best of luck to you and the Royals going into the New Year! |

Sadly being seventeen, I can't bet yet. The gambling age in the UK is eighteen - so I only have to wait three more months.

Tbh Clyde, with predictions like that, I really would save your money in three months! What on Earth gives everyone such optimism? I think against Brizzle we may win, but can't see more than 2-1 Ht 1-0 Williams and Vydra 19 shots |

I usually predict a 2-1 win and that would probably be a standard bet. I think this is the game where it will come together though. |
