One soccer pick - Monday
Reading/Leicester UNDER 2 (+120)
Things to note:
1) In the L6 Reading home games, only 1 has gone Over 2. In fact, 3 of those 6 have gone UNDER 2.
2) In the L6 Leicester road games, only 1 has gone Over 2. In fact, 3 of those 6 have gone Under 2.
3) Reading hasn't scored more than one goal at home. On the road, only once has Leicester scored more than one goal.
Aware of those facts, some books have set the total for this game at 2 with the Over at -160 and Under at +120. What this line tells you is that no more than 2 goals are expected in this game.
Given their offensive mediocrity, Reading know that their only chance of winning this game is by not conceding. So one expects Reading to play with a "containment" approach. As for Leicester, this game isn't a must-win, so a draw will be fair deal. Leicester is also notable for road draws as 4 of their L6 road games have ended in draws.
Forget all the talk about Reading missing one or two defenders. Their makeshift defense is still capable of a good job if the whole team plays with a "containment" approach.
On the whole, this game will be characterized by such a high-level of caginess that will keep goals at a premium. I hardly see more than one goal in this affair. At best, one can get a push.
