REF’s picks

The first half should see a measured approach, making under 1.5 goals before the break the sensible choice.

1. 1Teams often take time to suss each other out before committing numbers forward.
2. 2Early caution from the league leaders can keep the score down in the opening period.
3. 3Clinical finishing would be required to exceed this line early on.
