Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

In alignment, our prediction and the odds from the bookmakers 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 both sides are unconvincing in the WDW market given their latest form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point firmly in the direction of over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
