We said: Reading 1-1 Blackpool

Reading have been significantly better on home soil compared to on their travels this campaign and will be hoping to continue that with success over Blackpool on Saturday. The Seasiders have been one of the league's worst travellers to date and will not be favourites for three points - although we believe they will be good enough for a share of the spoils. Read more.
