Ta det lungt

Tonight's Ligue 1 promotion semi-finals see ten time top-flight champions St-Étienne hosting a Rodez side who in almost 100 years of French football have never played a season in Ligue 1.

St-Étienne were Ligue 2's best home side this year with 11 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, keeping clean sheets in four of their last seven home matches.

Rodez are 21 games unbeaten, 12 wins and 9 draws, and came from behind twice against Red Star in their 2-3 playoff quarter final on Tuesday.

In terms of corners, St-Étienne's games are averaging 8.73 corners (last 40) with a massive under rate of 68%. Rodez is averaging 10.3 corners.

Coming off the back of Rodez's rollercoaster fixture on Tuesday night, and with so much loose for both teams, I expect a disciplined approach and fewer corners. Under 9.5 corners at 1.9 odds is the bet.
