Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Marcel Rapp prepares his side for kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Stats imply both clubs have the weapons to deliver up top, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. With a real favourite to win the game, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
