Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Keith Long readies his troops ahead of kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Statistics imply both teams have the weapons to deliver up top, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the game, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
