Friday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the French top flight, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Le Mans vs Toulouse
🇫🇷 Ligue 1
⏰ Friday 16 October, 19:45
Entertainment looks on the cards at the Stade Marie-Marvingt on Friday night as newly-promoted Le Mans entertain Toulouse in Ligue 1.
Patrick Videira’s hosts have scored 10 goals across their opening six matches since their return to the French top flight, with six (60%) of them coming at home.
The Blood and Golds have found the back of the net in all six (100%) of those encounters, scoring on multiple occasions in four (67%) of them – including in all three on home soil – and will be confident of breaching a Toulouse backline that has yet to keep a clean sheet in Ligue 1 this season, shipping 2+ goals in five (83%) of them.
Jens Berthel Askou’s visitors have scored nine goals across their opening six matches in the French top flight this term, with six (67%) of them coming on their travels.
Les Violets have struck multiple goals in four of their past five Ligue 1 outings – including in all three (100%) on the road – and will look to continue their recent potency in front of goal against a Le Mans backline that has yet to record a clean sheet this season, shipping 12 goals.

Bet of the Day
Le Mans opening six matches since their long-awaited return to the French top flight have averaged an eye-catching 3.67 goals per game, with all six (100%) seeing goals at both ends, whilst five (83%) have also gone Over 2.5 Goals.
Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals has paid out in each of Toulouse’s last three and four of their past five Ligue 1 encounters – including in all three (100%) on their travels – and that trend looks likely to continue in north-western France on Friday night.
