THE PREDICTION
With four wins from four games, Reading sit second in the Championship. They face Middlesbrough here, who only have one win from their opening four matches. However, they have only lost one game and this looks set to be another close contest. Both teams look solid in defence and this game could be decided by a single goal and with the Royals in such good form, you have to fancy them to get that goal.
