Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Nathan Jones or Chris Wilder has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.33 equating to about a 78% probability.
