Match Result: Draw
Montpellier will be on the road to play Angers at Stade Raymond Kopa on Sunday. The visitors will hope to widen a four point gap between them and the hosts. Both teams are in top half of the table. A win for the hosts will put them strongly into top ten. A win for Montpellier will edge them closer to top five. Angers has not lost a league game at home to Montpellier since 2016. Coming into this fixture, Montpellier haven’t lost in four consecutive away matches and are undefeated in their last 10 games. A fixture like this is where you don’t expect many goals and we are predicting a draw at fulltime.
Both teams to score
Undefeated in ten consecutive games, Montpellier hopes to extend that record on Sunday. Angers is under intense pressure and a loss on Sunday could see them slip down to 12th from 10th on the table. A goal for the hosts looks highly likely but playing for a win against in-form Montpellier won’t be easy. We are backing both sides to find the net in a fixture that will likely end 1-1.
Under 2.5 goals
This is likely to be a low scoring match. While Angers need to win this more than the visitors, both teams have improved defensively in the last five games. There hasn’t been much of a goal fest between the two sides in previous encounters since 2018. We expect only a few goals in this fixture and under 2.5 looks good on the books.
Match Preview: Angers vs. Montpellier
A matchup between angers and Montpellier doesn’t always yield much excitement. Both teams have been in the league since 2015. They have also consistently finished at the top half of the table and this season wouldn’t be any different. Here is our comprehensive match preview.
Angers
Angers looks rather inconsistent coming into this fixture. Losing 1-0 at home to Saint-Etienne and then a draw away at Brest; two teams struggling to remain above the red zone. It is something to worry about. The hosts will be banking on their strong defense and a good home record against Sunday opponents to claim at least a point in this fixture.
Montpellier
With their current form, Montpellier is a high-flying team as they travel to Angers on Sunday. They haven’t lost in the last 10 fixtures. However, only one league win on the road against Angers since 2008 is long-standing record worth noting. The hosts have conceded only three goals in three out of the last five league fixtures while Montpellier has conceded one goal in four of their last fixtures. In this fixture, we predict a deadlock when both teams will have found the net.
