Montpellier and Strasbourg will lock horns in another Coupe de France encounter. The last cup fixture between these teams was in February 2021, a match that ended 2-0 in favour of Montpellier. The hosts boast three wins and one draw against the visitors in the last four meetings. We have a detailed preview of this Montpellier vs Coupe de France fixture in this post.
Our Best Two Picks for Montpellier vs Strasbourg
Contents
This fixture has yielded 7W for both sides in the last 20 meetings, meaning the other six ended square. Here is how we are tipping these teams to fare against each other in the second France Cup fixture within 12 months.
Montpellier poised to score the first goal @ 4/5 (1.80)
Montpellier is our pick to open the scoring in this match. The hosts come to this match with a 5-match winning streak, during which they recorded three clean sheets and conceded only two goals. On the other hand, Strasbourg recorded 3W, 1D and 1L in their last five matches and leaked five goals within that duration. A stronger defence is why we think the hosts will stand a chance to score first against Strasbourg in this Coupe de France game.
Montpellier to win @ 13/10 (2.30)
Our second prediction is a win for Montpellier. The hosts won three of the last five games, bagged a draw and lost once to the visitors. Five consecutive victories before this game also put the hosts ahead of their Cup fixture opponents, Strasbourg. The visitors come to this match with a shaky defence and could face a similar fate of defeat against Montpellier as they did in the last Cup meeting in February 2021.

Game Preview: Montpellier Upbeat about Back to Back Coupe de France Victories against Strasbourg
We expect a stronger squad in this game, constituting of most starting eleven as this game marks the first one of the year 2022 before a Ligue 1 match a week later.
Montpellier Predicted Lineup: Omlin, Ristic, Sakho, Cozza, Souquest, Chotard, Ferri, Mavididi, Savanier, Sambia and Germain.
Strasbourg Predicted Lineup: Kawashima, Guilbert, Caci, Nyamsi, Djiku, Lienard, Sissoko, Bellegarde, Thomasson, Diallo and Ajourque.
Despite failing to progress beyond Round 32 last season, Montpellier faced an easy opponent in this season’s Round 32 of Coupe de France and bagged a 1-0 victory away from home. In that game, the hosts didn’t field a strong squad against a non-league side. However, we expect a different approach from Olivier Dall’Oglio against a Ligue 1 opponent in Round 16 of the French Cup
Three wins, one draw and one loss is a pretty good run for Strasbourg in the last five matches. But despite boasting three wins and three draws against Olivier Dall’Oglio, Strasbourg head coach (Julien Stephan) should worry about a shaky defence in this fixture. His side only managed a draw against Montpellier in the last four competitive encounters.
