Contents
Both teams will score
Our first pick is based on the fact that these teams are struggling defensively. While the hosts have leaked 15 in eight, the visitors have conceded 13 in as many games. Moreover, both teams have kept only one clean sheet since the 2021/22 season started.
Over 2.5
We are also tipping more than two goals in this match. Four of the last five meetings had more than two goals. Moreover, five of the eight games by Montpellier this season have had more than two goals. It is the same case for the visitors who have seen more than two goals in five of the eight matches played so far.
Montpellier to open the scoring
We are backing the hosts to open the scoring in this fixture. In the last five meetings with Strasbourg, Montpellier found the net first. Moreover, home advantage and the fact that Montpellier won four of the last five encounters with Strasbourg should further work to the advantage of the hosts.
