We said: Reading 0-1 Charlton Athletic

 While Reading's form has been up and down, they have demonstrated that they can pose a threat to teams if afforded time and space on the ball. Charlton meanwhile have a miserly defence and have proven that they do not need to have more possession or create more chances than their opponents to take all three points, and Saturday's game could prove to be yet another example of that.
