Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We can expect some goalmouth action in this one, but don't count on an all-time classic. Under 3.5 goals is our prediction, meaning that 3 goals is the absolute maximum we'll see during the standard 90 minutes. The best odds on that outcome are just below, followed by market-specific form statistics and head-to-head (H2H) records.
