We said: Reading 2-1 Blackpool

Reading have proved to be a strong force at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, and while they have changed their manager since their last home outing, we still believe that they will make full use of home advantage to get the better of Blackpool in Saturday's League One encounter, especially as the home team on the day has won the last five head-to-head meetings between the two sides.
