Montpellier - Nantes predictions

With 2.28 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Montpellier who should end up victorious in the end against Nantes.

Nantes are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.35 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Montpellier’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 12.60. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 6:0 result before the end.

The away team’s performance the last time we saw them was nothing short of impressive. Top online bookmakers didn’t favour one team or the other, but Nantes ended up winning the bout 2:0 after leading the proceedings throughout the runtime.

Experts have pointed at Montpellier’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 7 goals over the last 3 Ligue 1 games.

Although a home win is priced at 2.28, you should consider the previous season’s record before placing any bets. Nantes won a match last year with a considerable goal difference, so the situation is not as clear-cut as it might seem.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Theo Sainte Luce, Issiaga Sylla, Lucas Mincarelli Davin, Khalil Fayad. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Florent Mollet, Igniatius Ganago, Fabien Centonze. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.85 odds.
