Montpellier vs Monaco Predictions

• Five of the previous seven meetings have witnessed three goals or more.
• Montpellier are without a clean sheet in their last eight clashes with Monaco.

New Year, different Montpellier

Hosts Montpellier had a fruitful month of December as they won all four of their Ligue 1 matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding just twice in the process. This run of form pushed them into contention for a European spot, however, the turn of the year has seen a downturn in performance and have just suffered back-to-back losses – the most recent being an embarrassing loss to newly-promoted side Troyes on home soil.

Monaco put their European ambitions back on track with a 4-0 demolition of strugglers Clermont in the last round which means they’ve suffered defeat just once across their last 14 competitive fixtures. The ‘Monégasques’ should be feeling confident coming into this one as they’ve enjoyed this fixture over the years as they’ve tasted defeat just twice in 41 meetings with Montpellier.

Goals aplenty

We think this one could be a bit of a thriller as two sides going in opposite directions, in terms of form, go head-to-head. The hosts hate playing against Monaco and given that they’ve struggled to keep clean sheets of late, they’ll be looking to their forward lane to make things happen.
