Our read before the game
Reading look the sharper side on form and head-to-head, but goals are the real story here.
Reading arrive sixth and in form, Wigan sit bottom of the table after one win in five, and the head to head has swung heavily toward the away side for years. The number that matters most here isn't the result, it's goals, with both teams' recent scoring and conceding patterns pointing toward an open game at both ends.
Written Wed 14 Oct, about 78 hours before kick-off, and left as it was.
