Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We're tipping a relatively tight affair here and, as such, are predicting under 2.5 goals. This means that we expect 2 goals or fewer will be scored in total as Nottm Forest and Newcastle go head-to-head. Tight defences and clear heads will be required to deliver us a winner, but we trust both sides to deliver just that. The statistics and the odds below also suggest this is a strong tip.
