Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of strong, attacking teams going head-to-head and, as such, we're predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective managers Luís Manuel Ferreira de Castro or Franck Haise deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Recent form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, do not suggest so.
