Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Sergio Francisco Ramos prepares his side for kick-off, we predict a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Stats imply both clubs are strong in attack, with goals in plentiful supply of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the match, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
