LiontipsMontpellier vs Toulouse. Prediction (odds 3.05) and bets on the match of the French championship
Command Analysis
Current form
The management of the Montpellier football club supported Michel Der-Zakarian for a long time, hoping that he would be able to improve the team situation. Patience snapped in the last round, when the "paladins" suffered a crushing defeat from Marseille with a score of 0:5. As a result, the club decided to change the coach.
The new coach is Jean-Louis Gasset, who led Marseille to the semi-finals of the Europa League last season. The 70-year-old specialist has a lot of work to do, because the team is in last place in the standings, having only four points. The upcoming opponent is also at the bottom of the rankings, so they need to make every effort to break the "black" streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Julien, Kouyate, Al-Tamari, Saint-Luce and Maamma are all injured, while Jodic is suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Montpellier have lost their last three matches.
- The hosts have scored in three of their last four matches
Tentative line-up : Lecomte – Sako, Toure, Sanyan, Sylla – Ferry, Nzingula – Norden, Savanier, Khazri – Adams
Current form
In the current championship, Toulouse lacks luck. In many matches, the team played on equal terms with its opponents, but in key moments it sagged and conceded more than it managed to score. As a result, the team is in 15th place in the tournament table and is only ahead of Le Havre, which is in the play-off zone, by additional indicators.
Toulouse have potential, and Carlos Martinech is trying to unlock it. So far, it not going well. If everyone played like Yann Gboho, who scored two goals and made two assists, the team would not be in the bottom five, but in the top five. In short, there is room to grow and develop.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nikolajsen is injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Toulouse have scored in their last three matches
- The visitors have not been able to win for four matches in a row
Tentative line-up : Rest - Sidibe, Mackenzie, Cresswell, Akdag - Cerro, Zayc - Babikka, King, Gboho - Abouhlal.

1.77Tip and bets
Despite the home game, Montpellier is set as an underdog in the upcoming clash. We disagree with this assumption. The bookmakers believe in the visitors of the upcoming meeting too much, although the club has not had such huge merits. The Palladians, under the guidance of the new coach, clearly want to perform well, and, as we believe, they will succeed.
Our prediction is Montpellier victory with odds of 3.05
Bet on total
In five of the eight league games, Montpellier have both scored and conceded goals. Toulouse have some serious problems in defense. The team has conceded in four games in a row. We believe that the tendency to concede will not stop, but at the same time it has managed to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.61
Bet on corners
Judging by our description, the game is unlikely to be a closed one. We'll place another bet on the teams making quite a few corner flag serves between them.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.65
