Montpellier vs Bordeaux: Prediction and Betting Tips

Montpellier playing for maximum points at home

A somewhat solid start to the season saw Montpellier collect eight points from their first six matches. However, in order to push for a European spot this season, La Paillade need to improve their defensive stance. Indeed, just one clean sheet so far will have coach Olivier Dall’Oglio think about reinforcing his defense.

Usually, Montpellier’s matches are filled with a lot of goals. Notably, we can see that with their total match goals scored this season that stands at 3.67 goals per match. Moreover, the positive side for Dall’Oglio is that his team scored in every home game in Ligue 1. And with Stephy Mavididi scoring three of their last five home goals, Montpellier seem secure on the offensive third.

Montpellier Key Points

• Montpellier scored in all of their last three home matches
• La Paillade have one clean sheet in six games
• BTTS happened in Montpellier’s five of the last six games

Bordeaux to build on their last win

The first win of the season saw Bordeaux climb three spots to 17th place from the bottom. Certainly, six-time Ligue 1 champions are looking for better times under new coach Vladimir Petkovic. Winless in five matches (D2, L3) wasn’t the start that the Bosnian coach hoped for with his new club, however.

Same as their hosts, all of Les Girondin’s matches saw a handful of goals. Despite that it is entertaining for the fans, coach Petkovic will have to solve some defensive problems. Notably, Bordeaux have no clean sheets this season and conceded seven goals in their three away trips.

Bordeaux Key Points

• Bordeaux’s last six games saw two or more goals scored
• BTTS happened in Bordeaux’s four of the last five matches
• Les Girondins won just one of their last six games
