Orleans actually had quite a great game last weekend in order to pull out a point from visiting Laval, as they had to play with a man less since 12th and two men less since 41st minute. However, that didn’t stop them getting into the lead already in 30th minute thanks to a goal from Maah.

After the goal scored, team looked highly organized in their defense, while Laval played quite badly in creative part of the game and even though everything went on their side, the team was never able to put a great pressure to visitors and claim a victory. Surely this result comes as a positive one for the players of Orleans, as the team now extended their undefeated run to seven matches. Atmosphere is quite good at the moment, as the distance from the danger zone has increased to five points. Home side will have couple of problems making the roster for this match, especially in the defense as they miss central defenders Maxime Brillault (20/3) and Antoine Ponroy (18/1) who were excluded from the previous game. Other defender, Bruce Abdoulaye (24/0) is also missing for this game. Such absentees will hardly be covered this time in the defense.


Tours, on the other hand, comes from a quite unfair 2:3 draw against Arles at home, as their visitors completely deserved whole three pointer. They managed to take the lea in seventh minute and despite playing with a man less since eleventh minute, they remained better on the field.

However, hosts quickly equalized few minutes later, but the visitors lost the penalty kick later on in the first halftime, scoring second near the halftime whistle. During the second half, they managed to endure, but still conceded the second goal fifteen minutes before the end of the game. For the third consecutive game, they conceded two goals, this time avoiding the defeat, but still failing to win as well. With only one point in last three matches, they are still in the danger zone, being a point below the safely placed teams. Newly signed striker Andy Delort from Wigan will try to help them, while the atmosphere remains good, despite the difficulties the team has. Central defender Leo Schwechlen (20/0) is losing his fifth game in a row, while substitute defender Alassane Toure (4/0) returns back to the team.

Tours have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in Ligue 2.
Tours plays with a great pace and fully aggressive, disregarding the court they play at. Orleans will also try to attack, but they are also vulnerable at the back and the hosts have every chance to stay undefeated here. However, both teams scoring and over goals seems like the safest choice here, while the odds are surely giving us good value.

Bet: Over 2.25 goals
