Montpellier vs. Auxerre: French Championship Match Prediction
Montpellier will host the newcomer to the national championship, Auxerre, in the fifth round of the French Ligue 1. The game will take place on September 22. Both teams are at the bottom of the ranking. Who will be able to improve their standings after the face-to-face meeting? - the answer and trend bets are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Montpellier
FranceCurrent form
Montpellier are usually considered a solid mid-table team, but not at the start of this season. Michel Ter-Zakarian's protégés are in last place in the standings after four rounds played, with just one point. The goals scored and conceded statistics are also not encouraging: 2-13. Clearly no one expected such a terrible start from the club. The coaching staff needs to change something, but what if both the attack and defense are a complete mess?
Disqualifications and injuries
Mincareli, Julien, Kouyate, Chautard and Saint-Luce will not take part in the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Montpellier have conceded at least three goals per game in their last three matches
- In two of the last three matches, the hosts left the field without scoring a goal
Estimated composition
Lecomte - Chato, Jodic, Sanyan, Sako - Nzigula, Fayyad - Norden, Savanier, Coulibaly - Adams.
Auxerre
FranceCurrent form
Last season, Auxerre won the Second League and received a direct ticket to the elite division, where they certainly want to consolidate and not go down. Everything started off well - a victory in the first round over Nice (2:1), but then everything went back to normal and the Burgundians suffered three defeats in a row with a total score of 1:8. Nevertheless, the team is still outside the relegation zone, but only on additional indicators.
Disqualifications and injuries
Aguel and Mensah are injured and will not take part in the match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Auxerre have lost their last three matches
- The visitors have conceded in five matches in a row
Estimated composition
Leon - Joly, Diomande, Jubal, Osho, Akpa - Owusu, Traore, Raveloson - Sinayoko, Perrin.

1.72Tip and bets
Montpellier needs an urgent victory and where to get it, if not in a match with the newcomer of the French Ligue 1. We believe that the Paladins will finally be able to gather their strength and achieve the long-awaited victory in the 2024/25 season, because the opponent is clearly not in a better mood after three major defeats.
Our prediction is a Montpellier victory with odds of 2.32
Bet on total
Both teams have huge gaps in their defensive line, so it's logical to bet that neither will be able to keep a clean sheet in this match.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.54
Bet on corners
Since both teams will be looking to score points in this encounter, it's unlikely that anyone will be holed up in their penalty area. We'll bet that the two sides will score quite a few corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.70
