Reading vs Peterborough Predictions

Royals can topple Posh

Reading are the bet at home to Peterborough on Saturday. This is a tough venue to visit and Noel Hunt’s side should be backed to get the better of Darren Ferguson’s team.

Reading are eighth in League One, seven places and 14 points above Peterborough, with Reading having won 16 of their 37 games this season and Peterborough 12.

Reading have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just 15 goals in 19 League One games – an average of 0.79 goals per game. They have not shipped a goal in three of their last four home matches.

Reading will be hopeful of getting on the scoresheet here. They have been prolific in front of goal against bottom-half teams this season, scoring an average of 2.09 goals a game in their 11 home matches.

Reading have been strong at home this season, and with Peterborough struggling on their travels, the hosts should be backed to win this one.

A 1-0 victory for Reading looks like a decent correct-score option. Five of Peterborough’s last seven and each of Reading’s last four in League One have gone under 2.5 goals.
