Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Patrick Videira and Grégory Poirier to got all-out defensive here, but we do not expect a deluge of goals as Le Mans and Red Star go head-to-head. The stats belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.62 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we're recommending.
