Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but it's all-but impossible to predict a goal-fest here. The stats suggest Fiorentina and Bologna both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're on the right track here and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.
