At 17th position, Troyes faces another challenge on the back of a poor run of results. The visitors are also wary of their poor performance of only two wins against Montpellier in previous competitions. See below for our analysis and the best betting odds for this Ligue 1 game.
Victory for Montpellier @ 3/4 (1.75)
A better run of form of only one loss in the last seven games across all competitions should give the hosts some confidence going into this game. Within that run, the hosts also recorded four clean sheets. The away team (Troyes) has struggled to get good results due to defensive problems. Troyes lost five of their last seven games and only kept one clean sheet within that duration.
Montpellier to score first @ 29/50 (1.58)
The hosts are our favourites to score the first goal in this fixture. They have a better defence and should keep the fight for a top five place at the end of the season. Montpellier is only two points shy of top five. They should take advantage of Troyes’ weak defence to collect more points in the quest for a top five finish this season.

Game Preview: Montpellier Continue their Push for Top Five
As things stand, Montpellier is within the possibility of securing a top five place after this game. The hosts only need one win to be in the fifth position or at the edge of it due to goal difference. It wouldn’t have been timelier to make another push for a Europa Conference League places. This fixture against a struggling opponent, Troyes, is a golden chance for Montpellier to make good their intentions of playing European football next season. Good results on home soil have earned Montpellier 20 points in 10 games, translating to an average of 2 points in every home match. And with a good run of results, it is unlikely that Montpellier will lose this game. Troyes has the second-worst away record. The visitors collected 7 points in nine trips, translation to 0.78 points on every away game.
Montpellier will be without Sepe Elye Wahi after the forward picked a red card in the last match against Strasbourg. Wahi scored three goals and provide an assist in all three Ligue 1 games in December 2022. He should be missed in this game even though he failed to find the net in the last three games in which he made an appearance.
