Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Montpellier Win or draw – 1.54
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 3 Goals – 1.55
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Montpellier to Score First – 2.05
Montpellier Win or Draw
The statistics are showing a 50% chance for Montpellier to win after winning three of their last six fixtures. In addition, Strasbourg were capable of ending five of their seven matches in the league in draws.
Under 3 Goals
Three of Montpellier’s last five fixtures in Ligue 1 produced three or fewer goals. Also, the same number of goals were scored in Strasbourg’s all seven league games since the start of the season. In addition, three of the last five h2h meetings ended with three goals or fewer.
Montpellier to Score First
Montpellier scored the first goal in all four of their home games this season and six of their seven league fixtures. Strasbourg on the other side conceded first in all three of their away games and in four of their seven games since August.

It has been all or nothing for Montpellier this season as the only Ligue 1 side yet to register a draw this campaign (W3, L4). It has been nothing lately for them, with two defeats in a row despite scoring first within 20 minutes on both occasions, frustrating coach Olivier Dall’Oglio who slammed his side’s “carelessness” after their 2-1 loss away to struggling Angers last weekend.
While pressure grows on Dall’Oglio’s shoulders, he could be reliant on his team’s attack to bail him out of trouble, as you’d have to go back to 1961/1962 to find the last time Montpellier scored more goals after seven Ligue 1 rounds (17).
Although winless in the league so far this season (D5, L2), Strasbourg have still proven hard to beat with those defeats against Monaco and Auxerre coming by just a one-goal margin. Like their hosts, discipline has been a problem recently, as Strasbourg have had players sent off in each of their last two league outings.
Though they are boosted by the return of coach Julien Stéphan, who returns to the touchline after a suspension of his own. Strasbourg have only managed one win across their previous ten Ligue 1 away games (D6, L3), and ending that trend here seems unlikely considering ‘Le Racing’ have won just one of their last 13 trips to Stade de la Mosson (D7, L5).
Despite the fact that the bookies are almost offering the same odds for both teams to win, we think Montpellier has a slight edge over Strasbourg and might just get a point or three here. Hence, we will back a double chance of a home win or draw for this one.
For Montpellier to score over one goal, 22Bet is offering odds of 1.55. This is a generous offer with a high probability considering Montpellier are averaging 1.75 goals per home game this season. In addition, Montpellier scored at least a goal in their last seven meetings with Strasbourg.
