The teams have faced each other six times, and in none of those matches did they manage to score more than two goals. Currently, both teams are vying for a spot in the upper half of the table, so they are likely to approach this match with caution and avoid defensive lapses. It's probable that once again, the clubs will not exceed the two-goal mark.
Our prediction is a total of under two goals at 1.88
