Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Garry Monk and Paul Warne to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a deluge of goals as Cambridge and Derby go head-to-head. The statistics belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.85 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
