ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR MONACO - MONTPELLIER
Monaco have 2 consecutive wins since the mini-crisis, once again they entered during the season. 6 points separate the Monegasque from 3rd place, but there are 3 teams ahead of them in the standings, who are also looking for a Champions League spot. Monaco’s big problem this season is psychological again. Even when they lead the score, they are often leveled and lose points. They are one of the worst teams in these terms. They suffer from counter attacks against the opponents, too.
Montpellier is one of those teams that are ahead of Monaco and are fighting for the 3rd position. It is for this reason that match is so important. It is difficult for a team to enter the Champions League with such a bad performance in away games, however. It’s not serious for Montpellier to have just 1 away win since the start of the season in the league in mid-February.
Expert view : Due to the improvement in the form of Monaco, as well as weak visits of Montpellier, we will bet on the hosts. Our bet is First team to score – Monaco. Overall, Montpellier finds it difficult to score goals away from home during the season. They are ok even with the draws, because almost always the match goes in the wrong way for them even at the beginning.
Monaco have scored first in 8 of their 12 home games in the league
Montpellier have scored first in only 2 of the 11 visits in Ligue 1 this season
