Clermont vs Montpellier: the Paladins to Bring Points from Clermont-Ferrand

Prediction for the Clermont vs Montpellier match, which will take place on May 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Ligue 1 newcomer Clermont, as expected, has been struggling for survival all season in the elite. It continues to do so - they occupy 17th place with 33 points, two ahead of inferior Saint-Etienne. It should be noted that after five defeats in a row Clermont managed not to lose in three games, but past round they lost to Brest with a score of 0:2.

Montpellier had another good season where they were a solid average performer in Ligue 1 and did not give up their position. On the eve of the tour the Paladins are on the 13th place in the standings, having 43 points. Since Montpellier has no tournament motivation for a relatively long time, it does not shine with the results - in the last six matches it got only two draws and four losses.

Bookmakers believe that Clermont will beat Montpellier. Though the hosts have great motivation, they are noticeably inferior to the visitors. Clermont has won only three home matches in 17 games - incredibly poor. Therefore, a bet on a non-win for the away team. Prediction: Montpellier will not lose.
