UNDER 2.5 (+105) is the slam-dunk play on the board in this one. Minnesota is averaging just 1.0 goal per game across their last four, and they’re allowing just 0.5 GPG.
For Austin, it’s all about defense, and they have seen an average of just 0.75 total goals per game across their past four matches. For the total to go Over 2.5 would be a near miracle in an Austin match.
