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.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Metz are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 57% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.62.
