Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Cerezo and Avispa go head-to-head, with hardly anything between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The statistics do not provide any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. That's a prediction available at best priced odds of 1.67 with the bookmakers, so we've made under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
