THE PREDICTION
Reading got back to winning ways with a late second-half hat-trick from striker Puscas remedying their previously goal-shy form, and they host a Birmingham side here who have posted three straight 1-1 draws in the league. A draw could be on the cards but the likeliest outcome is both teams scoring.
