This is a match against a club currently in a playoff spot in the Championship Table, 6th on 45 points while Reading are chasing from 14th on 34 points. It should be quite a test for the home side, coming off a nice 5-2 win against Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup. It will also be a much tougher match, as Reading put their regular Championship team out against a lower-standing Huddersfield side that had several substitutes and still clearly outplayed the Royals for most of the first half. Reading dearly need a result from this match to confirm their Cup win and establish even a fair chance to move up in the Championship to challenge for a playoff spot. Wednesday are also in good form, with 4 wins from their last 5 Championship matches, but they are 1 win and 1 loss in their last 2 away matches. Taking points from Wednesday, even at Madejski, would be a sign that these Royals have made a January turnabout - can they manage it this Saturday afternoon?

Points System - Note that this is a Posted Image match, so the following point totals will be doubled!

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Sheffield Wednesday and the result is Reading 3-1 Sheffield Wednesday (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score);
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Wednesday and the result is Reading 14-1 Wednesday (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 Wednesday and the result is Reading 27-1 Wednesday;
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 3-1 Wednesday (HT: 2-0) [Home x-y Away format]
Williams
Cooper
Vydra

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

How much time will expire before a Reading keeper's first save against Wednesday, according to the BBC stats (best RFC start better than they did against Huddersfield!)? Credit will be given for a prediction within five minutes of the posted BBC time. If you believe Reading FC will not make a save against Wednesday, make your prediction 'None'.

Best of luck to you and the Royals in their Championship campaign!
