Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Plymouth and Sunderland will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Wayne Rooney or Régis Le Bris has served up too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to approximately a 80% probability.
