Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Groningen and Willem II go head-to-head, with hardly anything between the teams in terms of who might win. The statistics do not provide any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.60 with the bookmakers, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this occasion.
