[Fil]

Dijon - Strasbourg Draw 3.030

[sharpshot7]

C'mon guys where's the reasoning?

The rest of us put time and effort into the reasoning behind our picks.

[allthethings]

I took Metz -1 at better than evens, but it is now -0.5...all the money flowing in the other direction. That's a good sign, actually.

Does anyone know wether it's possible to see some of the matches live? Livestreaming...

Iv'e seen Eurosport 2 is showing a bit, but is it cancelled during the olympics?

[meatman]

Oh man give me a break with these late goals

Boulogne last week and now tonight

Sedan 86' and 91' Clermont 86' and 93'

For fcuks sake!!!!!

Desperately need Metz to get a breakthrough against Tours

[impressivegol]

this ligue never changes!!

we have seen late goals already hopefully metz has one

[meatman]

Another late one goes against me this time Amiens score in the 87th

You just know when it ain't your night, these late goals are incredibly unlucky

[impressivegol]

Metz score in the 90th!!

I spoke too soon!!

Montpellier retook the lead in the 92nd and Metz then scored in the 93rd!!

This ligue never stops amazing me sometimes

13 of the 22 goals scored tonight were after the 80th minute, it only happens in France doesn't it?

Somehow I escape the night level, 10 mins ago it looked like complete disaster!

Could be a profitable trend this one, I will personally follow....

[fat]

6 goals and a red card in the dying minutes! That's typical Ligue 2! I wasn't home tonight, otherwise I could've been hit badly. Lucky me!

[gurdjieff]

Had a fair chunk on Metz (phew)!!Certainly seems the case in this league that goals are rare early doors with most arriving late on. If anyone has the actual stats on average goal times that would be interesting.Cheers folks and may your boots be filled this weekend

Lens straight win @ 2.15 Expekt 3/10

I’ll only have a small bet here, I feel I’ll have to keep betting on Lens until they show signs of weakness. It took them some time to break down Dijon last week but in the end their superior quality showed in this ligue. Potentially this will be a tough trip to Vannes but they should have too much for their opponents. The small stadium will be rocking and packed to the rafters but Lens have players who can deal with this situation. Vannes played well last week in Clermont and were very solid for 80 minutes before being put under some severe pressure. There’s no doubt that if Lens apply some force to the home defence then it might ultimately crack. The squad looks in pretty good condition and they have a backline that will be very difficult to penetrate. I think we’ll see Lens play just like Nantes did away from home last year in ligue 2, and they’ll have their fair share of tight wins. This wont be an easy match for the visitors but I expect they’ll find a way to get the 3 points eventually. Odds of 2.15 are generous enough to warrant some small stakes.
