Full time

How it turned out

The game finished with 4 goals. Both teams scored. We made Rodez to win 56%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

Rodez come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Rodez to win. Rodez are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.6-0.9), and we make them about 58% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 56 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.94, which works out at about 52 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

✓Rodez are unbeaten in their last five — four wins and one draw.

✓Laval have won two of their last five.

✓Three of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
