TROYES V MONTPELLIER PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Troyes (19^th) is looking for his second win of the season, they drew 3 times and lost 6 games sinc the start of the season. They are trying to improve their defensive record which is the worst of the league with 19 goals conceded against 10 goals scored.

Montpellier (13^th) is living a pretty difficult start of season after last year’s title. They have already lost 5 games, they drew twice and won only 3 times. Unlike last season, Montpellier is more comfortable when they are playing outside of “La mosson”, they won 2 games away and lost 3.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Troyes did very well since they have beaten Marseille during last game at home. Indeed, they drew against Reims and won in Monaco (1-2) this week in league cup. It looks like confidence is back within the team and players are ready to fight against relegation in their last game though, this kind is small team is often providing great performances against the biggest clubs as it is like the game of their life. But I doubt they will have the same motivation and same level regularly.

Montpellier, on the other side, will travel to Troyes in order to get 3 points to get closer to the top 10 of the league. For this meeting, René Girard will be still without Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, serving on this occasion the second of the 5 games suspension.

Bocaly will be back in the team as he served his suspension in Ligue 1 and Champions league.

TROYES V MONTPELLIER PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Montpellier is favorite, Betvictor offers the best price at 2.25. Draw is priced at 3.30 with Tipico and the home team win is offered by Bwin at 3.70.

I like the price for Montpellier’s win and would definitely recommend to bet on that as Montpellier’s players are still talented and playing a very good football despite bad results. Giroud’s departure has been hard to deal with but it looks like Camara is the right player to replace him in front of Montpellier’s attack. Besides, Montpellier won 4 out of last 5 meetings between both teams in Ligue 1.

TROYES V MONTPELLIER PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market favors Montpellier, it is set to – 0.5 for the visiting team at 1.95 with Betvictor. I would choose this bet for reasons explained before but I think there is more value in the 1X2 market.

TROYES V MONTPELLIER PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The under 2.5 goals is favorite, Pinnacle offers best odds at 1.75 and 2.17 for the over. Out of 5 games played at home, the total went over 2.5 goals only once in Troyes. I don’t think it will change on Saturday so I would put my money on the under here.
