Montpellier Guingamp betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 5^th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 9 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Angers, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Metz, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since they have won 17 points in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 10 conceded, against 20 points won at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Montpellier has a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (7 out of 13 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 9 of their last 13 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 25 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 13 home matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have conceded 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (16'‑30') and 4 of their 10 goals between (76'‑90').

Montpellier have been campaigning above the expected in the French championship, have won 3 of their last 4 games and are looking for another positive result to try to enter the fray for a place in next season's European competition. The key to the good campaign has been defensive solidity, having conceded only 20 goals and is the second less leaked defense of the competition, while the attack, on the other hand, has scored only 23 goals and is the fourth worst of the competition, showing great imbalance between the offensive and defensive sectors, something that needs to be corrected for the rest of the competition. Playing at home like the start of this Saturday, Montpellier has lost only 1 of its last 7 games, comes from 2 consecutive victories, but it is worth mentioning that it is the team that more drew in this condition with 5 draws in 13 games. For the match against Guingamp, coach Der Zakarian should repeat the line up of the round where he beat Metz away from home.

Confirmed Lineup: Benjamin Lecomte, Ruben Aguilar, Nordi Mukiele, Vitorino Hilton, Daniel Congré, Ellyes Skhiri, Salomon Sambia, Paul Lasne, Jonathan Ikoné, Giovanni Sio, Isaac Mbenza.
Coach: R. Pitau.
