Reading v Huddersfield

If you're unlikely to ever make it to the World Cup Final or Champions League Final, then probably the biggest football match you can play in is the EFL Championship Play Off Final.

Billed as the richest game in football, for many players this is the opportunity to really hit the big time, both in terms of status, renumeration and prestige.

Huddersfield and Reading lock horns today in what should be an enthralling encounter. The pair shared just two goals in their two league meetings this season, with each side winning their home match 1-0.

It's interesting to see the bookies make Hudderfield their clear favourites - quoting no longer than 11/8 about the Yorkshire side, and as long as 5/2 about Reading. That appears distinctly at odds with their recent form however - Huddersfield have lost eight of their last 16 (four wins and four draws), while Reading have won nine, draw two and lost just five.

Reading also negotiated a very difficult semi-final tie to beat Fulham 2-1 on aggregate, and that's no mean feat against a side who finished the season at a million miles an hour and were scoring for fun.

Jaap Stam did a real tactical job on Fulham, and we fancy him to do the same again. IT's worth noting that both teams to score has only landed three times in the last 16 Championship Play Off finals - hardly surprising with so much at stake.
