Spurs visit the Madejski Stadium on Sunday afternoon with
both teams yet to record a win in the Premier League this season. Andre Villas
Boas’ side were booed off the pitch in their last game, a 1-1 draw at home to
Norwich where they conceded in the last ten minutes for the third game in a
row, in a run off torrid form for AVB that stretches back to his ill fated tenure at Chelsea. Reading have only played one fixture since losing to Chelsea on the 22nd
of August, and that was a victory in the Capital One Cup against Peterborough. Get a free bet for this match here.
Reading: Form – LD –4.2 Bet Victor
Reading’s top goal scorer last year was Adam Le Fondre,
with a rather modest return of 12 goals. His position in the team has been
challenged by the addition of Pavel Pogrebnyak, who had a blistering end to the
season with Fulham last year, scoring 6 goals in 12 games. Brian McDermott
seems to prefer the Russian, having chosen him over Le Fondre in the game
against Chelsea, and he is 9.00 to score first with William Hill. Reading
conceded a miserly 18 goals at home all season last year, and spurs have failed
to score in the first half of any game in the Premier League this season –
Reading are 6.50 with BetVictor to be winning 1-0 at half time. Ian Harte and
Danny Guthrie seem to be sharing the set pieces duties between them, with the
latter having already scored this season. He is 11.00 to do so again anytime
with Blue Square.
Tottenham Hotspurs: Form – DDL – 2.10 Stan James
Spurs have had a disappointing start to the season for a
side hoping to challenge for a top four place. They haven’t kept a clean shirt
but have managed to score every game. Adebayor has been lacking fitness, and
had to settle for coming off the bench. He is 7.50 with Coral to score last on
Sunday. The additions of Dembele, from under the noses of Manchester United,
and Clint Dempsey are expected to add goals to the side and Gareth Bale got off
the mark for the season, scoring a superb free kick for Wales in midweek. Bale
to score and Spurs to win comes in at 5.50 with Blue Square.
Pavel Pogrebnyak First Goal scorer 9.0 – William Hill
Reading winning 1-0 Half Time 6.50 – BetVictor
Danny Guthrie Anytime Goal scorer 11.00 – Blue Square
Emmanuel Adebayor Last Goal scorer 7.50 – Coral
