Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We make over 1.5 goals our tip on this fixture, meaning that the teams will score a minimum of 2 goals between them during 90 mins. Both JEF United and Vegalta's current form stats suggest things will go that way, while their head-to-head (H2H) record adds further weight to the argument. The bookies make it their favoured prediction in this market too, available at 1.33.
