Bookmaker-implied chance47%2.11 - 2.30 - 2Over/Under Goals
Over 2.5 Goals
Reading's attacking output of 62 goals combined with Blackpool's leaky defence of 65 conceded creates a foundation for goals, whilst Reading's own record of 55 conceded suggests Blackpool possess enough attacking quality to find the net. The article explicitly identifies Reading's attacking threat as 'one of the most important threads to follow' against Blackpool's vulnerable backline.
Bookmaker-implied chance64%1.57 - 3.50 - 3Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score - Yes
Blackpool have struggled with both defensive solidity and creating chances this season with 51 goals scored, yet their attacking threat remains sufficient to trouble Reading's defence which has been 'leaky enough to cost themselves points'. The gap in quality suggests Reading will dominate but not shut Blackpool out entirely.

The three legs are: Reading to win the match, Over 2.5 Goals in the game (meaning three or more goals must be scored in total), and Both Teams to Score - Yes (meaning both Reading and Blackpool must each find the net at least once). All three legs must come in for the Bet Builder to be a winner.
How is each leg of the Bet Builder settled?
Each leg is settled on the full 90 minutes of play, including any added time, but not extra time or a penalty shootout.

The Both Teams to Score leg is settled as a winner if Reading have scored at least one goal and Blackpool have scored at least one goal by the final whistle.
