Betting Insights
This could lead to a lot of end-to-end play and with neither side particularly solid at the back, both teams will get opportunities to score.
Prediction
The draw comes in at a decent 3.58 , but the over 2.5 goals and BTTS odds of 1.65 and 1.55 respectively are a little low, so we’re taking a shot on the draw with a few goals in this one, the likelihood of either side taking control of the game is low, so this one should have plenty of drama.
