Fri 16th Jan, 19:00 BST, Stade Paul Lignon, Rodez

Patrick Videira pays counterpart Didier Santini a visit on Friday evening in the Ligue 2, as their Le Mans and Rodez Aveyron charges face each other at the Stade Paul Lignon. This preview has odds for seventeen different betting markets, alongside supporting data that changes as you explore. Our predictions run off the last 20 matches, so all stats are shown for each side's last 20 too. Home vs away and overall performance can be found, while there's also head-to-head history later on in the preview.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We make over 1.5 goals our best tip on this one, meaning that the sides will score 2 goals or more between them during 90 mins. Both Rodez and Le Mans's latest form stats suggest things will go that way, while their head-to-head (H2H) record is pointing in the same direction too. The bookies make it the most likely outcome in this market too, available at 1.30.

Goal Statistics

Le Mans's defensive record is to be admired, P. Videira's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Ligue 2 outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Rodez Aveyron makes sense in this context.
