How the 1X2 odds moved
| Reading | 1 (Pogoń Siedlce) | X (Draw) | 2 (Ruch Chorzów) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening line | 3.25 | 3.30 | 2.00 |
| Latest | 4.00 | 3.60 | 1.73 |
It is important to be clear about which price moved. The headline drop is on the Ruch Chorzów away-win price, which shortened from 2.00 to 1.73. The X2 price itself is not part of that figure, and its opening price is not in our data, so we only quote the current 1.17. At the same time the home win drifted from 3.25 to 4.00 and the draw lengthened from 3.30 to 3.60. Money has clearly moved towards the visitors and the double chance means Ruch only need to avoid defeat.
Ruch have won four in a row without conceding, while Pogoń have lost four of their last five. Ruch have lost only two of six away league games.
