Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Darrell Clarke prepares his side for kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Statistics imply both clubs are strong in attack, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. With a real favourite to win the game, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.
