Our Predictions
Both teams are evenly matched, and recent form suggests a low-scoring affair. Odds favor a draw, and both sides are cautious, so under 2.5 goals seem likely.
Le Mans has more attacking options on the road, and their counterattack could break through if Dunkerque pushes forward. Both teams to score, with a slightly open game over 2.5 goals, makes sense.
Dunkerque’s defences are tight at home, and they prefer a slow, disciplined game. A narrow win without both teams scoring reflects their tough approach and the odds for a home win are attractive.
