Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Luis Freire and his side approach kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the game. Stats imply both clubs possess a number of attacking options, and have had few problems in finding the back of the net of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the fixture, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
