Montpellier - Clermont betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.91, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It would be a minor miracle for Clermont to win at Montpellier, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.50 price on most online sportsbooks.

While the previous round ended in success for Montpellier, their performance against Ajaccio can only be described as lukewarm. A 0:1 away win Is always welcome, though, even if it came after a stalemate which lasted for most of the game.

Clermont are coming off from a crushing defeat at the hands of Lens. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 5.50 despite the home-field advantage. This assessment turned out to be true: Clermont struggled to keep up from the get-go and ended up losing the match 0:4.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Montpellier, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

With 7 goals in Clermont’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

Montpellier have had the chance to play against Clermont several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Ligue 1. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Montpellier are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.30. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
