Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here we have a pair of effective, attacking sides 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 bosses Kees Van Wonderen or Andre Breitenreiter deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Recent form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, do not suggest so.
