How it turned out

We projected about 2.4 goals; the game finished with 4. Both teams scored.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.4 goals from St Etienne and 1.0 from Montpellier, so St Etienne come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

St Etienne come into this on five 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 2.4 goals in total (xG 1.4-1.0), keeping it under more often than not (about 75%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 73 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.46, which works out at about 68 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.
