⭐ Editor's Pick
These two sides have a history of producing goals: over 2.5 were scored in 8 of their last 9 Ligue 2 meetings. The two most recent fixtures alone produced nine goals between them. Rodez at home follow the same pattern - they have scored and conceded in five consecutive matches, and their goal has been breached in every round of the new season. The away numbers back Pau: they have scored in 11 of their last 12 Ligue 2 matches on the road, including their only goal of the current campaign. We don't expect this evening to stay under three goals. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
