Auxerre - Montpellier betting tips and odds

With 2.50 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Auxerre who should end up victorious in the end against Montpellier.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

A Lens defeat away from home at a game they expected to lose heavily is not exactly a big disappointment for Auxerre. They managed to keep their rivals at bay for 45 minutes and only allow one goal to seal their fate after the break.

Montpellier were the underdogs in their previous Ligue 1 match, but the $RESULT outcome was still below most expectations. Despite a home-field advantage they fell behind quite quickly and were unable to recover, ultimately losing the bout $RESULT.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Auxerre’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Montpellier may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Auxerre will have to do better in what remains of the season if they wish to avoid relegation. This showdown is a perfect chance to prove they can do so, though actually winning the match will not be easy.

The 2.90 odds on the visitors winning are implying that there’s no clear favourite in this matchup. That said, Montpellier haven’t had the best luck in the Ligue 1 so far. This might just mean they’ll go the extra mile in an effort to climb up the ranks, though.

The last time these two teams met Auxerre managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Thankfully, Montpellier will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
