Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Rolf Landerl and his side approach kick-off, we're predicting a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the fixture. Statistics imply both clubs have the weapons to deliver up top, with goals in plentiful supply of late. As there is no outright, odds-on favourite to win the match, we think the best tip as they go head-to-head is over 2.5 goals.
