Best Tip: Both teams to score

We have a pair of effective, attacking groups 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 Erik ten Hag or Andoni Iraola deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, show that doesn't seem likely.
