Montpellier face off with Clermont in Ligue 1 at the Stade de la Mosson on Sunday (October 8).
The hosts are perched in the middle of the Ligue 1 standings, in ninth place, having collected nine points from seven games. Clermont, meanwhile, are dicing with danger down in 17th.
So, can the strugglers turn things around, or will Montpellier claim their third win of the season?
Clermont have struggled for traction this season as they seek their first win. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem likely for their fortunes to change here.
Montpellier’s form has been somewhat middling recently, but they did win impressively last weekend and, more to the point, they're a highly dangerous side in front of goal.
Against a Clermont side who have conceded 12 goals in seven games, Michel der Zakarian’s men will be hopeful of scoring. So, it’s difficult to consider anything but a Montpellier win.
Prediction: Montpellier 3-0 Clermont
Tip 1: Result – Montpellier win
Tip 2: Clermont to fail to score – Yes (Clermont have scored just five goals.)
Tip 3: Akor Adams to score for Montpellier – Yes (Adams has scored five goals in his last seven Ligue 1 games.)
