Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on a deluge of goals. Under 3.5 goals is what we're predicting, meaning no more than 3 goals will be scored in total during a standard 90 mins. The best odds are below, followed by recent form stats and head-to-head (H2H) records.
