Huddersfield Town were the biggest winners on the first weekend in League One and will be out to follow it up with another three points when they visit Reading.
The Terriers roared into life last weekend as an early goal from Joe Low set the tone for a comfortable 3-0 victory over Leyton Orient as two bets landed for our man Greg.
Town could only finish 10th last season in a disappointing campaign but new boss Lee Grant couldn't have asked for a better start as his side outclassed an Orient team who reached the play-off final.
Grant, who is in his first management job after leaving Kieran McKenna's staff at Ipswich, will now be looking to build momentum by dumping Reading.
The Royals got off to a poor start last weekend as they lost 2-0 on the road at Lincoln City, frustrating Greg after he had backed the draw.
Noel Hunt's side finished last term strongly and only just missed out on the play-offs so they will be looking to bounce back straight away with a win in their first home game.
How the bookies view it: Town flyers
After such an impressive display last weekend, Huddersfield Town are 23/20 favourites for another win with BoyleSports. Reading are priced at 19/10 and the draw pays 23/10.
Recent head to head: Reading edging it
This fixture has been closely fought in recent years, with the last 13 meetings producing six Reading wins, four Huddersfield victories and three draws. One of those stalemates came in Huddersfield last season after Reading had claimed a 2-1 win at home.
Players to watch: Lewis can Wing it at 5/1
Lewis Wing hit double figures for Reading last term and the midfielder will present a threat to Huddersfield's defence. He's 5/1 for a goal at Bet365 and that looks overpriced.
Former Birmingham striker Alfie May scored on his Huddersfield debut last weekend and his confidence will be up. The 32-year-old is 7/5 to add to his tally here.
Probable line-ups
Reading's squad has a clean bill of health, with Paddy Lane fit enough to make an appearance off the bench last weekend.
Sean Roughan was forced off in the first half of Huddersfield's opener and is a doubt for this one.
Reading: Pereira, Abrefa, Dorsett, Burns, Stickland, Elliott, Savage, Wing, Camar, Ehibhatiomhan, Lane.
Huddersfield Town: Goodman, Low, Whatmough, Roosken, Ledson, Gooch, Wiles, Harness, Kane, Miller, May.
Anything else catch the eye?
Reading lost their last two home games at the end of season 2024/25 and their poor performance last weekend suggests Huddersfield might be worth a punt for the win.
The Royals racked up nine corners on day one while Huddersfield won six so that's another market worth looking it. Bet365 price over 10 corners at 11/10 and that looks pretty decent.
This fixture has produced plenty of goals in recent years, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals coming up in the last four meetings in Reading. BTTS pays just 8/13 here with BoyleSports but if you add on over 2.5 goals it boosts the odds to 23/20. That looks worth a punt based on the recent head-to-head.
