Montpellier to Win

When a team wins four games in a five-match span, and the other game ends in a draw it is logical to look at Montpellier vs Clermont prediction and conclude that the home side's win is probable. Last week's triumph at Ajaccio was Montpellier's tenth win of the season and improve their record away from home. When it comes to the form they are displaying when playing in front of their fans, there is some improvement needed. They are in the bottom half of the rankings when it comes to points earned at home, and a match against Clermont is a perfect way to change that narrative. The visiting side is one of the best away teams in the league with five wins, four draws, and losses on the record. Clermont won three from their past five games as a guest team. Their first match of the current season ended in a draw, and looking at their past five games, Clermont won three times while Montpellier took home the victory on a single occasion a couple of years ago.

Under 2.5 Goals

There was a time this season when Montpellier was playing over 2.5 goals matches constantly, but that changed in the second part of the season. During the last couple of months, their defense improved significantly, in the last five matches they only allowed a single goal winning four of those matches. For the season, Montpellier had eleven under 2.5 goals matches while Clermont did it 16 times. The guest team is one of the best ‘under' teams in the league. They played four of the last five encounters with fewer than three goals scored, and Montpellier's number is at three matches within the same span of games.

Montpellier vs Clermont Lineups, Team Information, and Preview

Montpellier

The hosts have done well lately earning four wins in their last five matches which build a ten-point cushion from the relegation-threatened teams. The most important part of the club's resurgence is the defense part of the equation, they haven't allowed a goal in all those four wins which is impressive considering how badly the team defended in the first part of the season. Montpellier has Enzo Tchato, Maxime Esteve, Beni Makouana, and Leo Leroy out injured.

Probable lineup: Lecomte, Sacko, Jullien, Kouyate, Sylla, Ferri, Chotard, Nordin, Savanier, Maouassa, Khazri.

Clermont

On the other side of things, Clermont has continued to struggle. After finally winning a match two weeks ago, they were outplayed last week and lost at home to Lens by 4-0 which gave another bump to the team's faltering form. Fortunately for Clermont, they are far away from the relegation zone, however, their management hoped that the team would continue to fight for a top-ten finish this season which now doesn't seem likely. Elba Rashani, Maximiliano Caufriez, and Alidu Seidu are out through injuries.

Probable lineup: Diaw, Ogier, Wieteska, Konate, Neto Borges, Gonalons, Magnin, Allevinah, Maurer, Muhammed Cham, Andric.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
