Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Both our prediction and odds from the bookies suggest that this Eredivisie clash should present fine viewing for neutrals in the ground, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their recent form, we're going with the statistics and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point firmly in the direction of a tip of over 2.5 goals.
