Toulouse vs Montpellier Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 2nd October 2022

Despite their unconvincing form, Toulouse stand a good chance of adding three more points to their account in round 9. They face Montpellier on Sunday, and they'll be disappointed to miss out on a win at Stadium Municipal. Toulouse face off against Montpellier for the first time in a while, with Montpellier claiming a 3-0 win at Stade de la Mosson back then.

With 12 points after eight games, Montpellier currently rank 9th in the Ligue 1 standings. Toulouse play catch-up as they recorded eight points in eight matches, putting them up as 12th before their upcoming clash.

Toulouse are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Montpellier and odds favour them to pull it off.

Toulouse scored ten goals, conceded 17 and fought their way to two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Ahead of their upcoming Ligue 1 match, Montpellier have an ample average of 1.9 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a tolerable 19 goals, while also conceding 21 times. That amounts to an average of 2.1 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction

Toulouse are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Clermont Foot by a 2-0 score, before winning 1-0 against Reims. They lost again in their most recent match, this time 2-1 against Lille. In their last six Ligue 1 matches at home, Toulouse have one win, while they've drawn two and lost three.

Few people had high hopes on behalf of Toulouse before the season, but current form sees them punching above expectations.

Montpellier suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Lille in a 1-3 defeat. Angers also proved too hard to handle as they won 2-1, before Montpellier were able to strike back in a 2-1 win against Strasbourg. Montpellier managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Ligue 1. On top of winning once they also drew zero as well as losing five, while scoring 16 time and letting in 13.

They were able to stay clear of relegation last season, and Montpellier now aim to climb the rankings to a more secure finish this term.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Toulouse welcome Montpellier on Sunday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
