Both teams are coming off good performances in their opening games of the season, and both teams performed well defensively, conceding one and zero goals. All of their last six meetings have been low-scoring ones, as both teams tend to grind it out against each other, and the way their defenses looked last week, I expect more of the same today. Take the under 2.5 goals in this one.
