👉 Our prediction is: Draw

This matchup between Rodez and Montpellier has all the makings of a hard-fought stalemate, so our top tip for the match is to bet on the draw on the 1X2 market.

Neither side is particularly appealing to bet on to win given their uneven form of late. And we also see great value in the 3.07 odds for a draw, which is hard to pass up.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate Rodez vs Montpellier to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 1.83 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.
