THE PREDICTION
Currently outside the playoff places by four points, Reading simply cannot afford anymore slip ups if they wish to overhaul one of the current top six and give themselves a chance of promotion in May. However, in Luton they face an opponent coming into thus match full of confidence following their 1-0 triumph over fierce rivals Watford at the weekend. How much that match took out of Nathan Jones’ side remains to be seen with the Royals having enjoyed a day’s extra rest than Luton heading into their meeting at Kenilworth Road. Recent matches involving Reading are normally close affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five Championship games. A similar outcome is expected here as the visitors attempt to maintain a solid defensive unit and look to hit Luton on the counter-attack. Whatever the outcome of those one, under 2.5 goals scored looks the shrewd play.
