Montpellier vs St Etienne Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 17 of Montpellier’s last 19 league games
• St Etienne have failed to score only once in their last 13 Ligue 1 outings
• Montpellier have played out score draws in five of their last seven league encounters

Entertaining encounter anticipated

There is little at stake for both of these sides and that could lead to an entertaining affair at the Stade de la Mosson.

Montpellier are flying high in eighth but seventh-placed Rennes are seven points ahead of them, while St Etienne are eight points clear of survival with just four games to play.

None of the last seven league meetings between these sides have featured more than one goal but that trend could be about to change.

Both teams have scored in 17 of Montpellier’s last 19 league matches and their 17 fixtures on home soil have featured 66 goals – an average of 3.88 per game.

The net has also bulged at both ends in each of St Etienne’s last three Ligue 1 fixtures and they have failed to score only once in their last 13 league outings, which came in a defeat at home to title-chasing Monaco.

Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals looks a solid wager and we are opting for a 2-2 draw. Montpellier have played out score draws in five of their last seven league games.
