REF’s picks

Backing Wycombe Wanderers with the insurance of the draw in the pick 'em market looks like a sensible angle given Reading's struggles away from home. While Wycombe are missing several players due to injuries and suspensions, Reading's leaky form and long list of defensive absentees make them vulnerable. Expect a tight affair where the hosts can edge it or push for a draw.

1. 1Wycombe holds home advantage despite dealing with significant squad rotation and injury issues.
2. 2Reading enters this match with poor league momentum and several key defensive absentees.
3. 3Reading's tendency to draw or slip up on the road introduces a real risk of a shared point.
