Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Mikey Varas prepares his side for kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Statistics imply both sides possess a number of attacking options, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. With a real favourite to win the fixture, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
