Nancy v Orleans
Tuesday 19:00
Osasuna stretched their lead at the top of the Spanish Segunda Division to nine points last night. They came from behind to win 2-1 in Elche - a result that also landed our BTTS bet.
Today we're crossing the border into France, where there are nine Ligue 2 games to choose from tonight. Our pick is 17th-placed Nancy at home to seventh-placed Orleans. Since Alain Perrin's Nancy returned to France's second tier last term, all three of their meetings with Orleans have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and we like the odds-against price on this evening's clash making it 4/4.
Recently at Stade Marcel Picot, the Thistles have scored twice in 3/4 and conceded in 3/4. Since the start of term, they have notched just three clean sheets from 16 home games. They start as slight favourites for this game and it is Orleans' similarly dismal defensive record that gives them hope of grabbing the three points they desperately need.
Didier Olle-Nicolle's visitors have won 4/5 on the road recently - only losing to second-placed Brest - but continue to leak goals. They've managed only two clean sheets in 10 away from home, conceding three times in 4/10. Orleans continue to score freely themselves, hitting 14 goals from their last five on the road. Ten of their last 11 away games have reached Over 2.5 Goals in total and we're backing them to get over the line again today.
