Both teams lack a strong attacking force, particularly the visitors who have netted just four goals in eight matches. The hosts are not in much better shape, making it unlikely for more than two goals to be scored in this fixture.
Prediction - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.87

It is likely that both teams will adopt a defensive approach, so do not expect a high number of corner kicks.
Prediction - total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.85
