Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as Sheff Utd and Luton go head-to-head, with hardly anything between the sides in terms of who might win. The statistics don't supply 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 1.91 with the bookies, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
