Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on a deluge of goals. Under 3.5 goals is our prediction, meaning no more than 3 goals will be scored in total during a standard 90 mins. The best odds are below, followed by recent form stats and head-to-head (H2H) records.

Team To Score First

We think Bristol C are the most likely match winners here and, if they’re to get the job done, our predictive algorithm suggests 1-0 is the most likely scoreline. You can place that bet at best odds of 8.00.

There is rarely an outstanding favourite in the correct score market, however. Goals can be scored at any time, and even the most prolific team can have an off day. We’ve listed out the 15 most likely scorelines below, along with odds from the best bookmakers. As you can see, there’s not a lot between them.
