Le Mans v Dunkerque : Ligue 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Mon 26th Jan, 19:45 BST, Stade de La Pincenardière, Mulsanne

Home advantage makes a difference in the Ligue 2, and Patrick Videira’s Le Mans will have the joy of it on Monday evening. Albert Sánchez Saura’s Dunkerque are their visitors to the Stade de La Pincenardière. All stats, including an in-depth look at the form of both sides and head to head (H2H) records, will change as you click through each of the 17 major markets using the tabs below. Odds from leading bookmakers and, of course, our predictions will too.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Patrick Videira and Albert Sánchez Saura to park the bus here, but we do not expect a flood of goals as Le Mans and Dunkerque go head-to-head. The stats belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.62 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we recommend.
