Montpellier - Toulouse betting tips and odds

With the 1.77 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Toulouse, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Toulouse who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Playing as the away team, Montpellier lost their previous Ligue 1 matchup to a convincing 2:0 goal difference. Considering the odds were in their favour with top online bookmakers, the fact that they were behind for the entire game’s duration raises some uncomfortable questions about their current form.

Toulouse’s previous Ligue 1 match ended with a home draw against Reims. The 1:1 outcome was better for Toulouse than for their opponents, but fans are hoping for more decisive results in round 10.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Sunday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

Montpellier could have certainly had a better start to the season, but there’s thankfully plenty of time to make it up. The first thing to do is move up from number 15th on the table by securing 3 points in this favourable matchup.

Toulouse are 4 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot, and reaching it is likely their main goal for the time being. On one hand, the season is still in its early stages, leaving plenty of time to get there. On the other, this matchup against Montpellier is heavily in the home team’s favour, and the visitors will be lucky to earn even a single point.

Most online sportsbooks agree that Montpellier are more likely to win this match, which goes against what we’ve seen from this matchup last season. Toulouse recorded a decisive victory on that occasion, which means an upset this Sunday is not impossible.

Thankfully, Toulouse will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.75, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
