Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This Ligue 1 fixture, with Marseille and Rennes going head-to-head, offers plenty of value in the highly popular 2.5 goals market, with 3 goals or more being scored looking highly likely. Strikers for both will look to take advantage of an open match and, having reviewed the relevant statistics and odds, we have come to the conclusion that a bet on over 2.5 goals would be stronger than anything in the WDW market.
