Jean-Louis Gasset’s men have shipped in goals in six of their last seven clashes on their turf in the top-flight and the fact that the visitors have netted six times in their last seven away fixtures should make this encounter thrilling.

Therefore, owing to the weak defense line of the home side, they can be backed not to keep a clean sheet here at odds of (1.66).
