Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here we have a pair of strong, attacking teams going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective bosses Gregg Berhalter or Mikey Varas find a tactical plan to top their opponent? Latest form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, show that doesn't seem likely.
