Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Both our prediction and odds from the bookmakers suggest that this Eredivisie tie will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the game. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their recent form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point strongly towards a tip of over 2.5 goals.
