Best Tip: Both teams to score

We have a pair of effective, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective bosses Nuri Şahin or Xabi Alonso find a tactical plan to top their opponent? Recent form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, do not suggest so.
