REF’s picks

We back Over 2.25 goals here because both sides boast high-powered attacks capable of breaking down tight defences, making this goal line an appealing option. Recent matches for both Washington and Gotham have often produced plenty of goalmouth action and defensive slips.

1. 1Both teams possess potent attacking threats capable of exploiting defensive vulnerabilities.
2. 2Recent head-to-head encounters have been cagey, meaning an early goal could completely change the tactical dynamic.
3. 3The visitors' recent defensive lapses on the road point toward a more open contest than the bookies suggest.
