Premium Tips

A low-scoring angle and a shots prop on the visitors’ attacking full-back.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Under 2.5 goals13/10 (bet365)Six of the 12 combined Ligue 1 games involving these sides have stayed under 2.5 goals this season. Lyon drew 0-0 at Paris FC and 1-1 with Le Havre, while Nice have been involved in a 1-1 and a 1-0 among their low-scoring games. Lyon lost 2-1 at Lens last time out, and they may be more cautious at home here. bet365 offer 13/10 on under 2.5 goals. The numbers behind it are as consistent as any on this weekend’s card.
Jonathan Clauss 2+ shots27/10 (Ladbrokes)Jonathan Clauss has had at least two shots in four of his six Ligue 1 appearances for Nice, 16 shots in total, an unusually high output for a wing-back. He gets forward at every opportunity and takes on shots from range, and Nice have won their last two league games. Ladbrokes offer 27/10 on Clauss having two or more shots, a big price for a player who has done it in two-thirds of his games. That record makes it one of the stronger player angles in this fixture.
