Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here we have a pair of strong, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we're predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective bosses Liam Manning or Brian Barry-Murphy deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, show that doesn't seem likely.
