Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

Metz and Rodez are two attacking sides who have what it takes to make this an entertaining and eventful match.

That's why we highly recommend taking the bet of over 2.5 goals. The bet wins if there are 3 or more goals scored in the match, and if there are 2 goals or fewer, the bet loses.

Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

According to our projections for Metz vs Rodez, this is a match where we can find a good deal of value in the corner market.

With little offensive action anticipated from the two sides, our best tip is to take the under on 9.5 corners. That means 9 total corners or fewer throughout the match will win the bet.
