Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of impressive, attacking teams going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective bosses Rogier Meijer or Francesco Farioli find a tactical plan to top their opponent? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, suggest that's unlikely.
