On Saturday afternoon, Montpellier and Strasbourg go head-to-head as both teams look to kick-start their Ligue One campaigns.
Montpellier
The home side has certainly experienced a mixed campaign in the Ligue One campaign, that’s for sure. Olivier Dall’Oglio’s team has claimed nine points from their opening seven matches in Ligue One.
A 2-1 defeat against Angers last time out means that La Paillade has now suffered back-to-back league defeats while conceding at least two goals in both of the losses. In fact, Montpellier has now suffered defeats in four of their previous six matches in the French top-flight.
Montpellier’s league games this season have been high-scoring, as six of their seven Ligue One matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Montpellier has a poor recent home record, as they have won just two of their previous 11 home games in the French top-flight. They have also conceded at least two goals in five of their last six league matches on home soil.
Strasbourg
The visitors currently sit in 17th place in the Ligue One table, taking just five points from their opening seven league games of the season. Strasbourg has not won any of their league matches in the French top-flight, having picked up five draws and suffered two defeats.
A goalless draw against Clermont last time out means that Strasbourg has drawn their last three matches in Ligue One. Their recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous six outings.
Strasbourg’s recent away form has been poor, as they have failed to win in four away matches in Ligue One, having also won just one of their previous ten league games on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which will do neither team much good in their efforts to move up the table.
