Two wins on the bounce and some very impressive possession numbers have brought the Royals up to 13th in the Championship Table - a few matches too late for a charge to the Playoff spots, but still a welcome uptick in fortune and hopefully something that can provide a boost for next season. Saturday brings Birmingham to the Madejski Stadium turf, a club who is sitting 9th in the Table but not on an impressive run of form, taking only 9 points (2 W, 3 D, 5 L) from their last 10 Championship matches, and scoring only 6 goals over that span (no more than 1 in any match) but conceding 11. Over the same span, the Royals have taken 16 points (4 W, 4 D, 2 L), scoring 12 goals while conceding 11. The Table favors Birmingham, recent results favor the Royals, but the pitch and the ball neither know nor care about either of those. Can the Royals be poor hosts and keep all three points for themselves this Saturday? Make your prediction and we shall see!

Points System

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

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

What will be the total shots for both clubs combined (that is shots taken, not only shots on target) for this match, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within two of the posted BBC total.

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