Match Preview
Montpellier hosts Saint-Étienne at Stade de la Mosson on Friday evening in a crucial Ligue 2 clash. The home side has struggled recently, recording just one win in their last five matches (LWDLL), which has left them looking for consistency. In contrast, Saint-Étienne comes into this fixture in better form, with three wins from their last five outings (WWDLW), showcasing a more resilient side under pressure.
Historically, this matchup has favoured the visitors, with Saint-Étienne winning five of the last ten encounters, while Montpellier has only managed four victories. However, both teams have shown vulnerability in defence, with four of their last ten meetings ending in both teams scoring (BTTS). Given Montpellier's need to turn their fortunes around and Saint-Étienne's recent form, this match could see both teams finding the back of the net, making BTTS a compelling angle to consider. As the stakes rise, expect an intense battle as both sides vie for crucial points in their campaign.
