Tuesday, from 18:00, Bordeaux will receive a visit to Montpellier in a match for the 27th round of Ligue 1. The match will take place at the “Matmut Atlantique” stadium in Bordeaux.
Displaying sensation developments in the first part of the season, standing on the Ligue 1 podium, Montpellier began to take it gradually down the valley to reach the 8th position. With only one victory in the previous 11 rounds of championship, it is natural for Montpellier to lose its top position, hard work, but also the legitimacy to be considered one of the most solid teams in the “Hexagon” at the moment. The last “negative” proof came in the last round when Montpellier was humiliated at home by Reims with a 4-2 unbeatable.
On the other hand, Bordeaux is aware that he can no longer aspire to the European places, so he will most likely be happy with a position in the middle of the hierarchy, trying to prepare the next season for the better. Without impressing for the whole season, Bordeaux encountered big problems in the offensive as well, failing to score a goal in five of the last six stages.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Bordeaux imposed five times, Montpellier in three other rows, while the other two duels ended in a tie;
The previous direct dispute took place in the tour, when Montpellier was forced to score 2-0 on home ground;
Bordeaux’s last success on “Matmut Atlantique” against Montpellier dates from December 2017, from a convincing 5-1;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a balanced deployment of hostilities. As I mentioned above, we will witness a duel between two injured teams that are not currently found and encounter various problems. In this context, it is not at all possible to assume a final outcome of equality or, why not, a balanced first half that will “unwind” the prognosis without emotion.
PREDICTION: Over 1,5 goals @ 1,53
