Montpellier vs Saint-Etienne

Although there are more things at stake for Saint-Etienne in this match, we think it can be a quiet game, as Montpellier has nothing at stake and Saint-Etienne with a point would already achieve its goal, so we think this match can end in a draw.

As we have already mentioned, we think it could be a quiet game due to the situation of both teams, but Saint-Etienne, not wanting to take risks, could play very defensively in this game, and that is why we think it could be a low-scoring game.
