Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on an all-time classic. Under 3.5 goals is the prediction, meaning that 3 goals is the absolute maximum we'll see during 90 minutes. The best odds on that outcome are just below, followed by recent form stats and head-to-head (H2H) records.
