When taking into account the importance of this particular contest and the ramifications that defeat would bring for either side, it would be no surprise if we saw a cagey affair between these two teams. Both may well prioritise defensively stability and a solid set up off the ball with bodies mainly inside their respective halves. With that in mind, consider backing under 2.5 goals scored.
