Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect John Russell and Stephen O'Donnell to batten down the hatches here, but we certainly don't expect to see a flood of goals as Sligo and Dundalk go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.80 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we recommend.
