The head-to-head history suggests a trend of low-scoring encounters, with the total goals under 2.5 hitting in nine out of the last ten meetings. Considering the recent form of both teams and their head-to-head statistics, betting on total goals under 2.5 appears to be the most reasonable choice for this match.
