Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

We are tipping a relatively tight affair here and, as such, our prediction is under 2.5 goals. For those unfamiliar with that term, this simply means that 2 goals or less will be scored in total as Avispa and Albirex go head-to-head. Clear game plans will be required to deliver us a winner, but we have faith in both sides to deliver exactly that. The stats and the odds below also suggest this is a strong tip.
