Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we don't predict a high-scoring affair here. The statistics suggest Charlton and Bristol C both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds suggest it's likely there's fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're on the right track here and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.
