REVIEW Reading vs Bradford City
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Reading nicked a narrow win over Bradford City 2-1. The game was level at 0-0 at the break, so the decisive goals came after it.

The head-to-head backdrop: across their last 6 meetings in our records, honours were even at 2 apiece, 2 drawn. Scoring in those meetings ran 1.17 a game for Reading against 1.00 for Bradford City.
