We said: Reading 0-3 Peterborough United

Reading might have the home advantage in this game, but the Royals have been struggling desperately as of late, and the lack of confidence in the team has been clear to see during pre-season. On the other hand, the visitors should be full of momentum and a desire to go one step further than last season and clinch promotion, which should lead to them starting the campaign with three points.
