We are expecting a close battle with multiple attacks and scoring chances. The opponents have impressive attacking lines and should both be able to find the back of the net.
Our prediction - both to score
The previous meeting between the two teams took place three years ago and ended in a draw. We think that we might not see a winner today either and suggest playing a draw.
