Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

In alignment, our prediction and the odds from the bookmakers suggest that this Championship tie is going to be entertaining, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As both sides are unconvincing in the WDW market given their recent form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point to over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
