Montpellier vs Toulouse Top Odds and Predictions

A couple of French Ligue 1 teams are playing a friendly match less than two weeks before the restart of the season.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

These are teams that scored plenty of goals in the Ligue 1 this season combined, they are consistent with their forward lineup, and with the way they are playing these friendly matches, it looks likely we could see some goals.

Over 2.5 Goals

In 15 Ligue 1 matches this season for both teams, they each had ten games with two or more goals scored. Montpellier especially had some wild results, and with the way they started the season, another big goalscoring match could be in the offing. The last time they played a friendly match, this past summer, the score was 5-4 for Toulouse, and two and a half months ago in the league, Toulouse won once again by the score of 4-2.

Draw

It’s hard to predict what kind of game this team will play, but with the high amount of goals that are expected, it’s not hard to envision a draw.

Montpellier vs Toulouse Preview: Learning how to defend

Montpellier

Montpellier had such a terrific start to the season before suddenly falling apart, losing game after game. Their defending was a mess in the first part of the season, and going with four wins out of 15 matches isn’t good enough to maintain a healthy ranking. They couldn’t wait for the season to take a break because of the World Cup, so they could regroup and find answers for their defensive mistakes, and lack of right mentality. Montpellier played a couple of friendly games already, losing to Lens 2-1, before trashing a low-level league side Rodez 5-0. At least, what can be learned from those games, is that their forward line is still in good shape. But, defending is still an issue that we could see from the Lens game. They conceded almost two goals per game this season, and they need to cut that number by half to have a chance of staying in Ligue 1.

Toulouse

Their opponents in this friendly match are just slightly better, they also have four wins this season, but they earned two more points. Toulouse ended the first part of the season with three straight losses and only scored once in those games which settled their main problem for this training period, to somehow wake up their strikers. When it comes to their forwards, it seems that the problem lies in the fact that there isn’t a single player who can dominate the goalscoring charts, or score goals regularly. Zakaria Aboukhlal, Thijs Dallinga, Brecht Dejaegere, and Rafael Ratao scored three goals each, and none of them is consistent enough to maintain some advantage for their team.
