Montpellier - Dijon betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Dijon may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Dijon are given 5.25 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Montpellier’s previous away game against Metz was an altogether dull affair as far as the result goes, though they shouldn’t be unhappy with the 1:1 draw. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the runtime, but Montpellier’s opponents were widely considered the stronger team.

Dijon were up against impossible odds in their previous home game. Quite predictably, they lost it 0:1 to Olympique Lyonnais. Given the 10.50 odds for a home win, it’s hard to imagine a different outcome.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

A lot of games Dijon play end with either 1 or no goals at all. This is most notably true for the previous two rounds of the league.

The season hasn’t been going great for Dijon. They’re stuck at 19th place, well within the relegation zone. To make things worse, their chances of earning points against Montpellier are not great either.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Montpellier and Dijon ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

There’s an interesting development over at Stade de la Mosson. It seems both teams have been struck hard by injuries. On one hand, Montpellier_INJURIES will not be playing for the hosts. Conversely, Dijon_INJURIES will all be unavailable on the away side. Both teams will have to deal with limited options.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.97 odds offered at Betway.
