Reading will aim to continue their decent run at home, having taken points in 4 of their last 5 games. Given Peterborough's recent struggles, 2-1 is our predicted outcome for this League One fixture. The Royals are strong defensively, conceding just 0.9 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 40% of their matches, while their attack has averaged 1.3 goals per game, with BTTS occurring in 60% of their matches. Matty Jacob is the only absentee for Reading, meaning Liam Richardson has almost a full-strength squad available.
Peterborough, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency, winning only 1 of their last 5 league matches. Their attack has been capable, averaging 1.4 goals per game, but injuries to Adebisi, Hayes, and Hughes could limit their options. BTTS has occurred in 30% of their matches, though they have contributed to some high-scoring encounters historically.
Reading are a real force to be reckoned with at home and given Peterborough's ups and downs, Home Win should be considered. Additionally, Over 2.5 and Over 1.5 goals markets are worth considering.
This League 1 match will be played on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at 20:00.
