Cardiff are without Craig Bellamy and given these two teams are so closely matched, a tight game seems assured. Infact all 3 previous meetings between the teams have been drawn this season and the 90 minute draw 2 points @ 12/5 (VC) has some mileage, but also I'll be backing the match is settled by penalties 1.5 points @ 6/1 (H1lls).
No team drew more away from home than Reading in the Championship this season and, apart from their 2nd half slip against a desperate Sheff Utd the other week, are unbeaten in the league since mid-February.
In the 10 seasons since the away goals rule has been taken out of the equation of these play off semis, there have been 4 penalty shoot outs, which in itself makes the price above look too big.
