After suffering a 2-1 defeat to Cambridge United in their latest League One game, Reading will be looking to get back on course when they face Notts County on Saturday afternoon. The Royals produced a promising display in the EFL Cup despite losing 2-1 to Brentford, registering 17 goal attempts and 1.40 xG. Reading have been particularly dangerous at home, scoring 2.60 goals per game across their last five matches, with BTTS landing in 80%. Paddy Lane is pushing for a start after being rested in midweek.
Notts County, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Bradford City. The Magpies managed only 0.49 xG in that encounter, but their overall defensive record has been impressive, conceding just 0.80 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Their away fixtures have been more open, with BTTS landing in 80% and both teams scoring in each of their last five on the road. Enoru, Acquah, Macari, Palmer, and Sanders are all ruled out.
As Reading have scored an impressive 2.60 goals per game across their last five home matches, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals (Reading’s last 10 matches average 3.00 goals, while 80% of their recent home fixtures have seen BTTS).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:00.
