Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we're not predicting a goal-fest here. The statistics suggest West Brom and Sheff Utd both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.
