Martigues vs Epinal Prediction & Betting Tips (1 March)

Martigues have owned recent games in front of their own supporters, winning five of the last seven in the National and suffering just a single defeat in the previous ten. Epinal don’t exactly have the best of form on the road either, with Epinal suffering four defeats in six top-flight trips of late.

Both meetings between these two teams in the playoffs last season served up under 2.5 goals, meaning that Martigues have now been involved in seven consecutive matches of this low-scoring variety. As for Epinal, seven of their previous ten away games at this level have produced no more than a couple of goals, so don’t expect a feast of attacking football.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 11 of the most recent 16 Martigues matches on their own patch in the National, so thrills and spills have been few and far between. Given that seven of the previous ten Epinal away games at this level have followed the same pattern, any deviation from this script would come as a shock.
