Montpellier v Boulogne prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from Montpellier and 0.7 from Boulogne, so Montpellier come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.1 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.

Montpellier come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Correct score 1-0. This is our most likely exact scoreline for the game (xG 1.4-0.7). Correct score is a long shot by nature, so treat it as a small-stakes punt rather than a banker.

We put the chance of that landing at about 18 out of 100. The price on offer is 7.50, which works out at about 13 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
Montpellier have won two of their last five.

One thing to watch

Correct score is unforgiving: the right winner but the wrong number still loses. We only make this about 18%, so it's far from a lock.

Metz are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.8-0.9), and we make them about 62% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
