Saint Etienne 21/10 to beat Montpellier in Fridays Ligue 1 matchup

Posted April 26th, 2018 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Saint Etienne to beat Montpellier

Odds: 21/10 @ Bet365

With the Ligue 1 table reaching the end of the season, French football’s top division remains incredibly tight at both ends of the table with just a single point seeing a team jump several places. On that note, Saint Etienne will travel to Montpellier on Friday night.

For the hosts on Friday night, after only avoiding relegation by four points last season, Montpellier have certainly enjoyed a more successful year this time around. After 34 Ligue 1 games this season, Montpellier have won 10, drawn 16 and lost eight, scoring 32 and conceding 30 in return, Montpellier hold the third worst attacking statistics in the division. Despite their poor form in the final third, their points tally of 46 now sees them sat eighth in the table and are now three points adrift of their guests and from jumping into the European positions. However, Montpellier have now only won just one in their last nine Ligue 1 matches, drawing six and losing two.

As for the visitors, after securing a mid-table finish last season, Saint Etienne have enjoyed a solid season and the prospect of securing European football is still a strong possibility. After 34 games this season, Saint Etienne have won 13, drawn 10 and lost 11, scoring 40 and conceding 46. With a points tally of 49, they’re now sat sixth in the Ligue 1 table and while they may be 20 points adrift of the top four, the Greens are in the Europa League position and have shown immaculate recent form. Saint Etienne have now not lost any of their last 12 appearances in Ligue 1, winning seven and drawing five.
