Toulouse - Montpellier betting tips and odds

Though Toulouse are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Montpellier seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.80, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Toulouse went behind in the first half of their last Ligue 1 clash. Playing away against a tough rival is never easy and Toulouse can even count themselves lucky to return home with a narrow Lille defeat.

Montpellier are here on the back of a narrow victory against Strasbourg. Most betting predictions considered Strasbourg the stronger team despite the fact they were visitors, pricing an away win 2.80. In a surprise turn of events, Montpellier took the lead in the first half and ended the game with a 2:1 result.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Montpellier have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Ligue 1. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Toulouse have a 3-point buffer zone between them and the relegation zone. Though it’s still early in the season, they’ll have to work hard if they want to consider this season a success before the end.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

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 1.75 odds offered at Betsson.
