LiontipsStrasbourg — Montpellier. Forecast and bets for the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Strasbourg lost to Rennes in the last round (0:1) and broke a winless streak in the national championship, which lasted six matches in a row. So far, the defeat has not affected the team's standings in any way, it still remains on the ninth line of the rating, but if the club fails in the upcoming match, then under certain circumstances, a downgrade will begin, which, of course, would not be desirable. The opponent doesn't seem to be that difficult, but Montpellier knows how to surprise and sometimes produces high-level football, which even teams from the top of the ranking will envy.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bakwa, Sakhi and Delen will not play in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Strasbourg have lost their last two matches.
- In eight of the last nine matches, the hosts have scored
Approximate line–up: Petrovic – Doucure, Omobamidele, Sarre - Douai, Santos, Diarra, Moreira – Lemaresal, Nanasi – Emega.
Current form
In January, Montpellier won two matches against teams that are in the top 10: Monaco and Toulouse with the same score 2:1. It was not possible to extend the winning march in the confrontation with Lance - the defeat on their own field with a score of 0:2. With 15 points scored, the team is in the penultimate place in the standings. The gap from the safe zone is five points, and from the play—off zone is three points. In principle, the handicap is small. We just need to repeat the achievements of the January success — to win a couple of matches. The bookmakers do not believe at all that the guests will be able to win this meeting, because they expose them as a huge underdog.
Disqualifications and injuries
Maksimovich, Julien, Sylla are injured, and Nzhingula is disqualified.
Interesting betting trends
- Montpellier have lost nine of their last ten matches on the road.
- In eight of the last nine matches, the hosts have scored
Approximate composition: Lecomte – Tachato, Kouyate, Omeragic, Sagnan, Saint-Luce – Savanier, Shotard, Ferry – Khazri, Delort.

1.80The Strasbourg team will score in the second half
The bet was successful in three of the last five matches.
1.60Tip and bets
Strasbourg did not want to compete in the French Cup and most likely decided to concentrate their efforts in the national championship. Montpellier is not so good on the road, and defeats in nine of the last ten away matches speak volumes about this. We are inclined to believe that the hosts will not lose points in this match, but will gain three.
Our forecast is that Strasbourg will win with a coefficient of 1.79
Bet on the total
Montpellier has been trying to play boldly lately, and sometimes it works out quite well. Strasbourg is experiencing certain difficulties in defense, and, as we believe, no one will be able to defend at zero in this confrontation. In principle, this was the case in four of the last five face-to-face matches.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that, with a high degree of probability, the opponents will not stay too long in their penalty area. This means that in addition to exchanging goals, they will be able to arrange a lot of serves from the corner flag between the two.
The forecast is a total of more than 9.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.85
