Montpellier vs Angers Prediction

Montpellier Form

In their last three matches, Montpellier won 3-0 and 0-1 against first Brest then Troyes, before drawing 1-1 against Lens. Montpellier just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Ligue 1 matches at the Stade de la Mosson. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded ten goals.

Angers Form

A draw is all that prevents Angers from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed a point in a 1-1 draw against Auxerre before getting trounced against Strasbourg by a 2-1 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Lyon ran out 1-3 winners. Angers didn't manage a single away win in their last six Ligue 1 matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded ten and scored one goals themselves.

Both Montpellier and visitors Angers seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.

Montpellier won 21 points from their last ten encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won seven, scored 22 and let in nine goals. Angers claimed zero wins from nine goals scored and 21 conceded from their past nine matches against teams placed in the bottom six. This handed them two points to their account. Montpellier show off a record of eight wins, three draws and 14 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Angers have a record of two wins, four draws and 19 defeats in the Ligue 1.
