Tip and bets
Montpellier are still inconsistent, but they managed to earn a spot in the Top-10 of Ligue 1. Monaco are improving with every single match, but Paladins are not a comfortable opponent for Monegasques. We think that opponents will put up a high-class performance, but visitors should be able to get the victory, their line-up is simply better.
Our prediction - Monaco to win
We are not expecting a high-scoring performance from both teams. Both teams will try to play cautiously on defense, because in matches like that the outcome might be decided by one single mistake.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
