Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Vegalta and Renofa go head-to-head, with hardly anything between the sides in terms of who might win. The statistics do not supply any clear conclusion in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.62 with the bookmakers, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
