Head-to-head statistics Montpellier - Red Star
Montpellier Team Overview
Montpellier won their previous Ligue 2 match 3-0 against Rodez. After a goalless first half, they scored three times, though the two sides were level on total shots at 16-16.
Montpellier are building their game around defensive solidity. In nine Ligue 2 matches, they have conceded just five goals - fewer than any other side in the division. They have kept six clean sheets, including in their last two fixtures: a home win over Grenoble and a 3-0 away demolition of Rodez. Under Zoumana Camara, the former PSG defender, Montpellier sit third with 18 points. Nancy are a point ahead but have played a game more, so a win on Monday would lift Montpellier into second place.
Match Results: Montpellier
Red Star Team Overview
In the previous round, Red Star lost to Saint-Étienne (0-1). They had more of the ball (59%) and created more dangerous attacks (61 to 43), but managed only five shots compared to nine from their opponents.
Red Star spent some time at the top of Ligue 2 in October. Their 10 October win at Clermont was their fourth in a row and lifted them to first place. Saint-Étienne ended that run, beating Red Star 1-0 at home on 17 October. Goalkeeper Gaëtan Poussin said afterwards that the team lacked sharpness in attack. Red Star are currently sixth with 17 points. This is Damien Perrinelle's first season as head coach; before the summer he had been an assistant at Monaco.
Match Results: Red Star
Match Result Prediction
At home, Montpellier have lost just one of their last 11 matches. This season they are unbeaten at home: two wins, two draws and only one goal conceded. A draw would be enough for them. The bet is Montpellier not to lose.
Total Goals Prediction
More than three goals have been scored in just one of Montpellier's last 14 matches. At home, they don't score many and concede very little. We're not expecting a fourth goal. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
Correct Score Prediction
The most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12.61%), 1-0 (12.16%) and 0-1 (10.65%). The options are fairly closely distributed, but a 1-1 draw carries the highest probability of those listed.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Red Star have scored in eight consecutive away matches in Ligue 2. But they rarely come away without conceding either: both teams scored in 6 of their last 7 away fixtures. Montpellier are also reliable in attack - Camara's side have failed to score just once in their last 13 league matches. In both meetings last season the teams drew, with each side scoring once. The key question on the night is whether the hosts' tight defence can hold out against visitors who scored three goals each at Guingamp and Clermont. Both attacks will be looking to provide the answer on Monday. The pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
