Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of impressive, attacking teams going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective bosses Sebastian Hoeness or Xabi Alonso mastermind a defensive masterclass to scupper our tip? Recent form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, do not suggest so.
