Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of impressive, attacking sides going head-to-head and, as such, we're predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective managers Chris Davies or Ian Evatt find a tactical plan to top their opponent? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookmakers, suggest that's unlikely.
