Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's unlikely that this game will have 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as our predictive algorithm on this one. Red Star and Montpellier have rarely treated their fans to a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in Ligue 2 individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.40.
