Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Nantes and Red Star will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Michel Der Zakarian or Damien Perrinelle has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.30 equating to about a 73% probability.
