League 1 club Walsall comes to visit Madejski Stadium in the FA Cup, and they stand in a good position to be visiting across the Championship next season, as they currently sit 3rd in their league, 2 points out of an automatic promotion spot. Reading seem very likely to remain in the Championship, as they are 11 points out of either a playoff spot or a relegation spot. Walsall has been on a great run of form, but have fallen off just a bit recently, with 4 wins, a draw and a loss in their last 6 matches. One of those wins was a 0-1 Cup match against Brentford, a club currently 5 spots ahead of Reading in the Championship. Reading's form has also benefited from the Cup competition, with 2 wins, 3 draws and one loss in their last 6 matches (1 win and 1 draw in FA Cup competition). Walsall has shown that they can compete on the Championship level, so Reading must be ready for a stiff test to continue their Cup run. How do you see this match playing out?

Points System

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Walsall and the result is Reading 3-1 Walsall (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score);
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Walsall and the result is Reading 14-1 Walsall (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 Walsall and the result is Reading 5-1 Walsall;
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 Walsall (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 Walsall player's first card (yellow or red) in this match, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within five minutes of the posted BBC time. If you believe Walsall FC will not receive a card against Reading, make your prediction 'None'.

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