Montpellier Toulouse betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash should not be one of the most balanced of this round of the French Championship, since it faces two teams that have been doing campaigns somewhat different so far. While Montpellier remains in the top eight, Toulouse is the penultimate placed. The home team has been inefficient to conclude, but its defense stands out in the aerial balls, tackles and defensive set pieces. Toulouse, also has been failing at the time of concluding and has a lot of defensive fragility, having made some individual mistakes, as well as many dangerous faults. So, as both teams do not have a great offensive power, it is a good option to bet in a few goals.

Preview
Montpellier and Toulouse meet at Stade de la Mosson, in a match for the 22th round of the Ligue 1. Toulouse got a home win by (1‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 12‑08‑2017. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 3 head‑to‑heads they won 2 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Ligue 1, on 02‑04‑2017, Toulouse won by (0‑1). A. Delort (45' ) scored the only goal of the match. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 8th and 19th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 14th best team in home matches and the 19th best in away matches.

Analysis Montpellier

After 6 wins, 10 draws and 5 losses, the home team is in the 8th position, havinf won 28 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Amiens by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (0‑0) at home, against Monaco. This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. In the last 10 home league matches Montpellier has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 11 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 9 of their last 11 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 6 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Montpellier is still in a comfortable position within the French Championship, but it is not going through its best moment in the competition as it has only one win in the last seven rounds. In its last clash, the team played a balanced game against Amiens, and although it finished more than the opponent, only conquered a draw away from home. As it was possible to notice in this last round, the team has been highlighting for the consistency of the defensive system, which is the least leaked of the championship, with fourteen goals conceded in twenty-one matches. However, the team fails in possession of the ball, having the sixth worst average in this question. Playing at home, Montpellier won less than 50% of the points, and in that condition scored only ten goals. The coach has been changing frequently the team's tactical system, but should keep Skhiri as the reference in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Benjamin Lecomte, Ruben Aguilar, Jérôme Roussillon, Daniel Congré, Vitorino Hilton, Pedro Mendes, Jonathan Ikoné, Ellyes Skhiri, Paul Lasne, Salomon Sambia, Giovanni Sio.
Coach: R. Pitau.

Analysis Toulouse

The away team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Saint‑Étienne, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Nantes, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 5 points in away matches and 14 at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 8 conceded at home, against 9 goals scored and 22 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Toulouse has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 losses in the last away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Toulouse is going through a not very favorable moment in the French Championship, considering that it has not won for four rounds, having accumulated three consecutive defeats in that period. However, in the last round the team at least scored again, in a balanced game against Nantes, where it missed a few passes and had more possession, but reached the draw only in the extra-time of the final stage. Based on the numbers of the competition, we can notice that the offensive sector has been one of the main responsible for the poor performance of the team, so much so that it is among the seven weakest in the championship. Another weak point of the team has been the lack of precision in the exchange of passes, which facilitates the work opponent. The 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 should be the scheme used in this bout by the coach, who will probably keep the Brazilian Somalia as a reference on the right side.

Confirmed Lineup: Alban Lafont, Steeve Yago, Issiaga Sylla, Issa Diop, Christopher Jullien, Alexis Blin, Ibrahim Sangaré, Giannelli Imbula, Somália, Yaya Sanogo, Max Gradel.
Coach: P. Montanier.
