This match has been played — the final score is still to come.

What to expect

Clermont come into this on three straight defeats. Reims come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Under 2.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.4 goals in total (xG 1.0-1.4), keeping it under more often than not (about 56%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 56 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.78, which works out at about 56 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch

A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. We make it about 56% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.

Metz are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-1.0), and we make them about 61% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
