Peterborough vs Reading prediction

Their last six in all competitions read one win, two draws and three defeats, at 1.2 goals scored and 2.0 conceded per game. Last time out they lost 2-0 to Luton at home; before that came a 2-0 defeat away at Bradford and a 1-1 draw away at Bromley.

Peterborough haven't won in five. The defence is a worry: they have conceded in each of their last six. They failed to score in two of those games. At home they've won none of two recently (2 scored, 4 conceded).

Over the last six matches it has been two wins, one draw and three defeats, averaging 0.5 goals for and 1.0 against. Last time out they lost 2-0 to Oxford away; before that came a goalless draw away at Plymouth and a 2-1 win at home to Barnsley.

Two clean sheets in that spell, but they also drew a blank four times. On the road they've won none of three recently (0 scored, 3 conceded).

There isn't much between Peterborough's home form and Reading's away form.

We make Peterborough favourites at 42%, with Reading on 37% and the draw at 21%. In truth there's very little in it.
