Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Both our prediction and odds from the bookies suggest that this Eredivisie tie is going to be entertaining, with at least 3 goals to scored in the match. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their latest form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point strongly towards over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
