Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on a record-breaker. Under 3.5 goals is what we're predicting, meaning no more than 3 goals will be scored in total during 90 minutes. The best odds on that outcome are just below, followed by market-specific form statistics and head-to-head (H2H) records.
