Brighton & Hove Albion have been installed as 23/20 favourites by official bookmaking partners Sky Bet ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Reading at the Amex.

The visiting Royals are priced up at 11/5, as is a draw, and I believe Sky Bet odds compilers’ prices are looking just about on the button to me.

However, in the first goalscorer category several Albion players look a little overpriced.
*
Sam Baldock is 6/1 and Joao Teixiera is 7/1. It is possible that one or both players will start and if that is the case, then the value is raised. If not, then stakes will be refunded if they come on after the first goal has been scored, so valuable insurance kicks in automatically there. For a longer priced option consider Gary Gardner (12/1).

Finally, instead of taking the 23/20 for an outright Albion victory, better value can be found by backing the Seagulls in the half-time/full-time category. Brighton/Brighton is a long looking 5/2.[h=3]ALBION V REading
