Fri 2nd May, 19:00 BST, Stade Saint-Symphorien, Metz

the Stade Saint-Symphorien is the setting on Friday evening, as Stéphane Le Mignan's Metz welcome Didier Santini's Rodez Aveyron in the Ligue 2. We've got the best odds for 17 top betting markets as well as predictions, stats and head to head (H2H) data for both teams. All can be selected using the tabs below.

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Friday's match is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Metz and Rodez to score 3 goals or more combined during the standard 90 minutes. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with statistics below suggesting both teams have goals in them, we think there's good reason to feel confident.
