Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Kjetil André Rekdal prepares his side for kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the game. Statistics imply both teams are strong in attack, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the game, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.
