Championship Play-Off Final Tip
Whoever comes out on top at Wembley will be playing Premier League football in 2013-14.
The most lucrative game in world football, worth an estimated £120m, takes place at Wembley on Bank Holiday Monday and neutrals may be able to expect a few goals.
Watford (85) and Crystal Palace (73) were the two highest scorers in the Championship in 2012-13, typically finding attack to be the best form of defence.
When the clubs met at Selhurst Park on the opening day of the season it ended 2-3 to the Hornets after two goals in the final three minutes for Zola’s team. In the return meeting at Vicarage Road, the hosts raced into an early 2-0 lead but this time it was Holloway’s boys who stormed back to claim a 2-2 draw.
With all this in mind, best odds of 5/2 (Skybet) on there being over 3.5 goals in the match looks generous.
