They have scored just a single goal in each of their last four away matches in the Premier League and have had under 2.5 goals in eleven out of their last twelve matches in the Premier League.

The two teams have not been impressive enough in front of goals and have struggled to score. They have been playing quite a few low scoring matches due to lack of goals, and the same could continue. We are going for under 2.5 goals in this fixture.
