Over 0.5 First Half Goals  + Under 3 Total Match Goals

- The Championship playoff final tends to be a tight, cagey affair for obvious reasons.

- There has been a first half goal with the match ending with less than three goals in four of the last five seasons.

- The only match which ended 2-1 was during Covid when goals per game were increased because of no crowd noise.

- #mce_temp_url#21/10 is good value given the situational spot of this game and it's landed in each of the last four playoff finals.
