Dunkerque v Pau FC : Ligue 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Fri 16th Jan, 19:00 BST, Stade Marcel Tribut, Dunkirk

Pau FC pay Ligue 2 counterparts Dunkerque a visit on Friday evening, as Nicolas Usaï leads his men into an away clash with Albert Sánchez Saura & co. at the Stade Marcel Tribut. Our predictions are based on complex statistical analysis of each side, across 17 of the biggest betting markets. The data and the odds change with each market, and head-to-head statistics are included across them all.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Dunkerque and Pau will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Albert Sánchez Saura or Nicolas Usaï has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s recently either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.25 equating to roughly a 81% probability.

There’s absolutely nothing to pick between these sides, and our predictive algorithm gives Dunkerque and Pau an equal chance of claiming victory. The home win and the away win are both at 50% probability.

Goal Statistics

Dunkerque have been reliable in front of goal of late, scoring in 7 consecutive Ligue 2 games. Their PG of 1.8 against Pau FC on Friday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Dunkerque's defensive record is to be admired, A. Sánchez Saura's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Ligue 2 games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Pau FC makes sense in this context.
