Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

In alignment, our prediction and the odds from the bookies suggest that this Ligue 2 tie will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the game. As both sides are unconvincing in the WDW market given their latest form, we're going with the stats and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point firmly in the direction of a tip of over 2.5 goals.
