Predictions Summary
The average total goals for Reading are projected at approximately 3.36, with an average of goals conceded being around 2.62 and goals scored about 2.44 per match.
The data suggests a cautious approach from both teams in the first half, with higher probabilities leaning towards no goals scored early on (91.40).
