Montpellier v Red Star prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.2 goals from Montpellier and 0.9 from Red Star, so Montpellier come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.0 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: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.0 goals in total (xG 1.2-0.9), keeping it under more often than not (about 81%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 79 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.37, which works out at about 73 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.
