Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Maarten Martens readies his troops ahead of kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Stats imply both sides have the weapons to deliver up top, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the fixture, we're going for over 2.5 goals.
