Ajaccio - Montpellier betting tips and odds

Ajaccio have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Montpellier. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

While Montpellier may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.72 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Though Ajaccio are here after an away defeat in the previous round against Reims , that performance does not offer an accurate assessment of their form. They played as visitors against an overwhelmingly stronger opponent, so perhaps the draw in the first half and 1:0 loss aren’t too bad.

Montpellier’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Angers SCO. The 5:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

Deep in the bottom part of the Ligue 1 table, Ajaccio will have to dig deep in the closing stages of the season if they wish to stay in the league. The hosts are currently sitting in 18th and things are highly unlikely to take on a positive change after their Sunday meeting with Montpellier.

Montpellier took the home win last time they clashed with Ajaccio, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in Stade Francois Coty.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.25 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
