Now come 3rd place Burnley to Madejski Stadium, fresh off a 1-0 home win over then-top place Hull City and on a seven match undefeated streak in Championship play. Over that run, they have scored 18 goals while only conceding three. To compete effectively, Reading must do two things in the same match they have not done that effectively recently - defend solidly while attacking effectively and clinically. On paper, the on-form visitors show to have every advantage except home pitch; can the Royals come up with what would be considered a major surprise and retain the points in Berkshire? What is your prediction for this match?

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 Burnley and the result is Reading 3-1 Burnley (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score);
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Burnley and the result is Reading 4-1 Burnley (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 Burnley and the result is Reading 5-1 Burnley;
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 Burnley (HT: 1-0) [Home x-y Away format]
Williams
Cooper
Vydra

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

What will be the total match attendance, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within five percent of the posted BBC attendance. This one looks to be a seven point week for the Bonus Question... ;)

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