Betting Insights
- Dunkerque are the favorites to win this game at 2.25, which seems too short given Annecy FC are 3.0 and the draw is at 3.4.
- The market for under 2.5 goals at 2.0 and Both Teams to Score - No at 2.15 suggests the game is more likely to be a chess match than a shootout.
Prediction
- However, at odds of 2.25, Dunkerque or a draw is the selection.
- With Rambaud bagging 2 of Les Rouges' last 6 goals in all competitions, he looks like the most likely to get on the scoreboard, but our selection is Annecy FC or a tie.
