Reading will play host to Notts County on Matchday 7 of the League One season on Saturday afternoon. Both teams are averaging over a goal per game this season, and we are expecting goals at both ends in this match, as discussed in our prediction below.
Reading have taken seven points from their first five games of the season and are currently 14th in the league standings. They enter this match following a 2-1 loss to Brentford in the EFL Cup.
The Royals have been impressive in attack this term, scoring 12 goals in their five games. Jack Marriott has made an excellent start to the campaign and leads the league with six goals.
The hosts have won two and lost one of their three home league games this season. Notably, 11 of their 12 league goals this term have come on their home patch.
Meanwhile, Notts County have made a steady start to their first season in League One, losing just one of their six matches, though four of their games have ended in stalemates to this point.
The Magpies suffered a 1-0 defeat to Bradford City last weekend at Meadow Lane. That was the first match that they have failed to find the back of the net in this season across all competitions.
All three of the visitors' away games this season have ended in score-draws, but their last two visits to this venue ended in 2-1 defeats.

Our Reading vs Notts County Prediction
Reading have looked extremely impressive in attack this season, scoring 12 goals in just five matches, but they are coming into this match off the back of consecutive defeats to Cambridge and Brentford.
While the hosts are the favourites in this match, Notts County have proven a tough nut to crack this term, losing only one of their six matches so far. All of the Magpies' away games this term ended in score draws, and it would not surprise us if this one followed suit. Our Reading vs Notts County prediction is BTTS.
