Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

KickOff's prediction and odds from the bookmakers suggest that this Eredivisie tie should present fine viewing for neutrals in the ground, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their recent 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.
