I just put a wager on Reading (-0.25) @ 1.74
Game is live on Sky tv, Micheal Owen might be back tonigh playing without much risk just to make sure he gets fit for next season. Newcastle had a very long campain with lots of injuries and are feeling the effect at the moment with not succeeding to win in the last 6 matches and losing a lot of matches on the road. Motivation is clearly not 100% on their side.
No Duff or Given tonight
Reading can move into the UEFA qualification spot if they win. they have also some long term injury problems and Leroy Lita is suspended. Reading has won 10 matches at home so far and only a few non top-teams have been able to win there.
Big difference in motivation between the 2 teams, Newcastle should not win this match!
