Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be several goals. It's true that the match is more likely to be controlled by the locals, but both clubs have a habit of playing very open games, where chances come very naturally. That said, and taking these factors into account, going in favour of the "Over 1.5 Goals" market in this match is a good option.

In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Ipswich Town, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against West Bromwich Albion, by (0‑1).
