Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.705/7 in Reading v Nottingham Forest

Tonight's game at the Madejski Stadium should be enough to turn anyone republican, says Tobias Gourlay

Reading v Nottingham Forest
Tuesday 20:00

Goalless in Spain last night. Not good enough for the Frogs, who remain three points adrift at the bottom, and not good enough for us.

We're in relegation form ourselves at the moment, but that stops tonight. In the grand surroundings of Reading's Madejski Stadium.

Brian McDermott's men have seen Under 2.5 Goals in 14/19 Championship home games this season and look well set to make it 15/20 against Nottingham Forest tonight.

In their most recent 10 league appearances on home turf, the Royals have notched five clean sheets, while scoring just eight times themselves.

Visiting Forest have scored more than once in just 1/19 away games so far this term. Thank goodness they've only conceded more than once in 2/19. All told, it's 17/19 with Under 2.5 Goals and that's more than enough to persuade us about tonight's game.
