Bordeaux - Montpellier betting tips and odds

Though Bordeaux are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

Montpellier are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Bordeaux’s previous Ligue 1 match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Paris Saint Germain . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 22.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:0 result before the end.

Montpellier’s previous outing at their home stadium ended inconclusively. However, they kicked off as clear underdogs compared to Nice, who were the away team. With that in mind, the 0:0 score at the end is not that disappointing.

Bordeaux’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Ligue 1 matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Montpellier’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

There’s very little of the season left for the hosts to move up and out of the relegation zone. They have a shot at earning 3 in this showdown, which just might be the kind of morale boost they need.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Tom Lacoux, Amadou Traore, Ricardo Mangas will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 2.01. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
