Best Tip: Both teams to score

We have a pair of impressive, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective managers David Hubert or Pellegrino Matarazzo mastermind a defensive masterclass to scupper our tip? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, do not suggest so.
