Looking through the prediction league for Sunday, everyone pretty much has predicted a high scoring affair. 3-2's, 2-1's all over the place. I was wondering what the reasoning is behind this is, as over the course of the season we haven't had many goalfests, and in a game of this magnitude for both sides, I'd have expected a lowscoring cagey affair. Discuss.
 
Given that it's the final game of the season and both teams need a win to give them a realistic chance of going/staying up (something which looked well out of reach for both teams just a few games ago) then it's understandable that people are expecting there to be goals.

However, common sense dictates that Neil won't change his tactics too much, especially in the first half, and we don't seem to score many first half goals, Robinson's at QPR was the only recent one and that was on the stroke of half-time, so 0-0 at half-time is probably a strong favourite. In the second half it might open up a bit more but a 2-1 might be the closest to a "goal-fest" that we'll get.

A lot to play for tomorrow I can see it being a cagey 1-0 0-0 affair

I've read someone post on here that the bookies' odds you'd get on a double for 0-0 for us and for the Derby game are 155/1

Now of course it's not likely that they'll both be 0-0 but I must say that 155/1 looks like good odds to me!
