While Huddersfield is another Championship club, there are no points to be gained from this match, as it is an FA Cup tie. Huddersfield are coming off a nice 0-2 away win at Bolton and, while they sit 18th in the Championship Table, they are only 5 points behind Reading and on a good run of form (10 points in their last 5 matches; 3 wins, a draw and a loss; 10 goals scored, 5 conceded). The Royals are also coming off a win, but it was a stoppage-time 1-0 nail-biter at Madejski Stadium. Reading's recent form is not as good as the Terriers', with only 6 points from their last 5 matches (2 wins and 3 losses; 4 goals scored, 5 conceded), with the clubs meeting in early November resulting in a 2-2 draw, with the Royals coming from behind twice to share the points on a late Ola John equalizer at the MadStad. Does the Royals FA Cup path go beyond John Smith's Stadium?

Points System

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Huddersfield 1-3 Reading and the result is Huddersfield 1-3 Reading.
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Huddersfield 1-3 Reading and the result is Huddersfield 0-2 Reading.
5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Huddersfield 1-3 Reading and the result is Huddersfield 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:

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

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

How much time will expire before a Reading player's first card (yellow or red) against Huddersfield, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within five minutes of the posted BBC time. If you believe Reading FC will not receive a card against Huddersfield, make your prediction 'None'.

Good luck with your prediction and to the Royals come Saturday!

Bonus: 24 minutes 12 seconds

A tight match, but more due to a lack of offense :'( on each side than anything stellar; would love a nice 0-4 :thumbsup: blow-out, but I simply do not see that happening. Please prove me wrong, Vydra, HRK, McCleary and Williams :wub: :scarf: !
