Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Neill Collins readies his troops ahead of kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Statistics imply both clubs possess a number of attacking options, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. With a real favourite to win the match, we're going for over 2.5 goals.
