Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This League Two fixture, with Bristol R and Rotherham going head-to-head, offers real intrigue in the widely used over market, with at least 3 goals predicted to be scored in total. Strikers for both will look to take advantage of an open match and, having reviewed the relevant statistics and odds, we firmly believe that a bet on over 2.5 goals would be stronger than anything in the WDW market.
