Correct Score Prediction

Auxerre
Lyon can be backed to win 2-1 when it comes to the correct score. We’ll go for the +575 that this happens and hopefully we’ll get a good run for our money.
Player Prop Picks
Danny Namaso (AJA) has bagged at least one shot on goal in his past two Ligue 1 games. We think that some value can be landed by wagering on Shots on Target and you can secure +115 that he goes over the line.
Corentin Tolisso (OL) has scored five goals in his past eight Ligue 1 home games. We’re content to land the +210 for this Anytime Goalscorer bet as there’s value in the odds that he features on the scoresheet.
