Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as Valencia and R.Vallecano go head-to-head, with hardly anything between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The stats do not provide any conclusive evidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.50 with the bookmakers, so we make under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this occasion.
