Montpellier - Monaco betting tips and odds

Montpellier managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 3.70 for a home win.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Monaco should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 1.95, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Montpellier will want to forget their previous Ligue 1 match as quickly as possible. They were trailing behind for the entire match, after conceding early in the game. Ultimately, a Toulouse away defeat ended up being quite an embarrassment.

The Sunday’s away team heads into this Ligue 1 match on the back of a solid HT/FT home win (4:1) over Nantes. It was a rather straightforward triumph during which Monaco went ahead early on and never let their lead get in danger.

The first step Montpellier need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Monaco’s home stadium have seen a lot of conceded goals recently – 6 in the last 3 games, to be exact. Considering they don’t have home-field advantage this time, most online sportsbooks are giving rather short odds on Over markets.

Monaco need to earn another 4 points to get into a Europa League qualifying spot. The table positions are not quite established yet, though, because the season is still in its early stages. This upcoming match at Montpellier is a good opportunity.

Monaco were 2 goals ahead when they defeated Montpellier the last time these two teams met. Although this happened in the previous season, most online bookies are still confident that this game will end in an away victory.

Jonas Omlin, Pedro Mendes, Maxime Esteve will not be able to play for the hosts this Sunday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Montpellier,

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 1 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
