Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

KickOff's prediction and odds from the bookmakers suggest that this Ligue 1 showdown will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As both sides are unconvincing in the WDW market given their latest form, we're going with the statistics and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point to over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
