Reading and Swansea City meet in the Championship on Tuesday evening with the two teams locked on the same points in the standings.
Before the Boxing Day fixtures, the sides occupied 12th and 11th position respectively, but are just two points adrift of the playoff spots.
We say: Reading 2-1 Swansea City
Given their lack of form, Swansea have done well to retain a position in the top half of the table. However, that period may come to an end on Tuesday with Reading fancied to build on their strong home performances for the majority of the season.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Burnley will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of the Championship standings when they play host to Birmingham City on Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, Birmingham make the trip to Turf Moor with the opportunity to solidify their spot in the top half of the table.
We say: Burnley 1-1 Birmingham City
With an unbeaten home record such as Burnley's, we expect that to be extended to 13 matches versus inconsistent opponents. However, we feel that Birmingham will rise to the occasion in front of the television cameras, emerging with a hard-earned share of the spoils.
Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
