Reading are without 1 — Sean Patton (Out - injured).
Brentford are without 5 — Nathan Collins (Doubtful - injured), Sepp van den Berg (Out - injured), Josh Dasilva (Out - injured), Antoni Milambo (Out - injured), Mathias Jensen (Doubtful - injured). Losing Nathan Collins (9.09/10) is the kind of absence that moves a price.
Early lineups are in: Reading set up 4-2-3-1 against 4-2-3-1. See the pitch graphic above for the full XI.
Reading lean hardest on Joel Pereira (9.5), Lewis Wing (9.5), Paudie O'Connor (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Brentford lean hardest on Vitaly Janelt (8.1), Kristoffer Ajer (8.1), Caoimhín Kelleher (8.1) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Nathan Collins is out for Brentford — index 7.0, against 8.1 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.
The projected score for this one is Reading 0 - 3 Brentford, an away win by 3 with 3 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.
The read: Brentford at 1.27 is heavily fancied away from home. Backing a favourite at that price only makes sense on the handicap.
