Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of impressive, attacking sides 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 managers Bruce Arena or Peter Vermes deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Recent form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, do not suggest so.
