A quick turn-around for the Royals, who must recover from their less-than-inspired loss to Birmingham at Madejski Stadium to travel off to face Middlesbrough Tuesday evening. With Middlesbrough sitting 2nd in the Championship table, Reading have quite the challenge - the 28 point advantage Boro have built over 40 matches this season has been earned. Only one point behind leaders Burnley, Boro has won their last 4 matches and 7 of their last 10, while Reading have 4 wins over their last 10 Championship matches. Reading have not been strong on the road recently, another ill omen for this visit. Can the Royals force an unexpected blush from The Boro on their home ground and bring a point (or even points) back to Berkshire? Make your forecast below and We Shall See... Points System - Note that this is a 10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Boro 1-3 Reading and the result is Boro 1-3 Reading (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score). 7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Boro 1-3 Reading and the result is Boro 0-2 Reading. 5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Boro 1-3 Reading and the result is Boro 0-5 Reading (this result includes a draw with the wrong score e.g. you predict a 1-1 draw and the result is 0-0). 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: Boro 1-3 Reading (HT: 0-2) [Home x-y Away format] Norwood Cooper Kermorgant ...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'... How many total corners (sum of both Reading and Boro corner kicks) will the BBC stat report show for this match? Bonus Points will be awarded for a forecast no more than two off the sum for the two clubs. Good luck with your predictions and to the Royals come Tuesday! |

Alas, not an officially tracked stat ... and I'm sure we'll bomb it down more than 4 times. Likely double digits , but the first would be a '1' ...

Talking of historical results, curious that all matches between us home or away taking place between 1928 and 1994 ended in draws! |
