On Wednesday, starting at 20:05, Monaco – Montpellier will be played in the Ligue Coupe semifinals. We anticipate a fairly balanced match, so we will bet on goals.

The hosts managed to “rip” only one point in the Marseille move, though they managed to open the 4th minute score through Keita. The attack hit very well and if the first goal came after Keita managed to intercept a detour and then to dribble 3 players, the second came after a very good short pass in front of the goal and then a dribble of Fabrinho out of the game 3 opponents at once. However, the defense did not go well at all, both goals being received on the backdrop of unacceptable ballooning “in the pile” of their own. The Stade Louis II Monaco will again use the best 11 and should strike this game very seriously. We think that if the chances of the Monegasque title are minimal, the cup remains a very important competition.

On the other side, Montpellier failed to get another 0-0 on the PSG tour, losing 0-4. In addition, in the Lorient cup match, Wednesday’s guests managed to win by 4-3. These are some of the signs that show us that the defense of Montpellier is no longer as solid as a few months ago. It is true that in the match with Lorient they did not use the best 11, but it is inadmissible to get 3 goals from Lorient when you have the best defense in Ligue 1. It remains to be seen what the guests will play, but it’s hard to believe we’ll see a 0-0 again in the last game with Monaco. A good clue for Montpellier’s strength could be the three matches played before the aforementioned, which ended with 1-1, respectively, with two victories of Monegasics 2-1 and 6-2.

PREDICTION: Monaco to win @ 1.70
