Montpellier vs Monaco Prediction & Betting tips
Monaco wants to stay in the top group of Ligue 1 and has to score three points if possible with the unpleasant opponent from Montpellier. It will not be easy, although the Monegasque has made a good impression in recent weeks.
This ensures that before the game Montpellier vs. Monaco, the betting odds show that the guests will go into the game as favorites. Mainly due to the first major sagging on the part of Montpellier, the form now speaks clearly for Monaco.
After recently weaker appearances, Montpellier wants to show a reaction and score against a top team. On Friday evening at 20:00 p.m. it will show whether this will work. Then the game will kick off at the Stade de la Mosson.
Montpellier :
For a long time Montpellier played a good role this season. But in the last few weeks the situation has changed. As a result, coach Michel der Zakarian’s club is eighth after the first half of the season. 28 points in 19 games are still a good starting position for the coming weeks.
But an increase is necessary, especially after the tired 1: 1 against relegation candidate Nantes. Therefore, before the game Montpellier vs. Monaco, the odds of the best bookmakers show that Monaco will be the favorite in this game.
After five consecutive games without a win, a threesome is needed, but the next two games against Monaco and Paris SG are likely to be extremely complicated.
While in recent years the defensive at Montpellier has often been the reason why the opponents gritted their teeth, the defense is the problem child this season. 32 goals conceded from 19 games mean the weakest value of all teams from the top half of the table. After all, this could be adequately concealed with 31 specially scored hits.
It is not only the five games without a win, but also a total of seven games in which Montpellier could not play to zero one after the other. It’s a big problem, especially because Monaco are in good shape offensively. So there is not much that speaks in favor of the hosts, especially since Montpellier scores fewer points at home than abroad.
Given the factors ahead of the Montpellier vs. Monaco game, our prediction is that the visitors will win this game. More tips for Ligue 1 can be found on a betting basis.
In the search for an increase in performance and a victory after weaker weeks, the outstanding striker duo Delort and Laborde will be of particular importance. Delort has eight goals and six assists, Laborde six hits and five assists. Both should start against Monaco and hope to be staged frequently. Zakarian coach can draw on the full in this game.
Monaco:
The guests from Monaco have had a good season so far. Only the lack of constancy prevents the Monegas from being at the top. If you look at the Ligue 1 table, you will find the team of coach Niko Kovac in fourth place. The Champions League is six points away and is definitely not out of reach at the moment.
Monaco has been unbeaten in four games, three of which were won. Above all, the offensive is currently in good shape, eleven goals in four games are a real statement. Before the game Montpellier vs. Monaco, the odds show that the guests will go into the game as favorites. The bookmaker Betway, which was tested by Wettbasis, offers odds of 1.88 if you bet on the Kovac-Elf.
The positive trend on the offensive can also be seen in comparison with the other teams in the league. 36 goals in 19 games mean that Monaco has the third best offensive in Ligue 1 after PSG (43) and Lyon (39).
In any case, it is clear that the weak phase with defeats against Lille, Lens and Marseille has been overcome. Niko Kovac has stabilized the team again and breathed new life into it. In addition, the last two away games could be won, which was never achieved in the previous season.
Due to the positive trend, our forecast before the game Montpellier vs. Monaco is that the guests should win the game. Whether that will happen can be tracked with the live score function on a betting basis.
German striker Kevin Volland is under special observation. The 28-year-old is in brilliant form, scoring four goals in the last four league games and preparing three more goals. A Volland in top form could also make the difference in Montpellier. The guests have to do without midfielder Fabregas.
