Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Blackburn and Sheff Utd go head-to-head, with little to choose between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The statistics do not give us any clear conclusion in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.62 with the bookmakers, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
