Rennes vs Montpellier: Bookmakers underestimate the guests

Rennes will take on Montpellier on November 20 in round 14 of the French Ligue 1. Let’s look at how the opponents are doing and see what’s best to bet on. There are some great options to consider.

Rennes has gained momentum, becoming close to unstoppable. The team has kept a ten-match unbeaten streak, with 8 wins and 2 draws that put the Red and Blacks 5th in the standings with 22 points under their belt. Their position in the European Cup zone is extremely fragile, so Rennes have to fix it. In the last match, the club easily dealt with Lyon, scoring four goals and conceding one. It is also impossible not to mention the successful performance of the team in Europe, where the team feels very confident. In four rounds of the Conference League group stage, Rennes has earned enough points (10) to lead the Group G standings, ahead of second-placed Tottenham by three points. 

Montpellier showed a pretty good soccer in the last two matches. First, the team confidently defeated Nantes by two goals (2-0), and then they beat Nice on the road by a narrow margin, scoring the only goal in the end of the match (1-0). As a result, the visitors added six points to their piggy bank and moved up to 6th place, moving ahead of Lyon. If Montpellier beats Rennes in this match, they will get even in points.

Bookmakers shouldn’t be so early to write off the guests. Well, Rennes is an extremely powerful club that hasn’t lost for ten matches in a row, but we believe that Montpellier will be able to impose the fight, being in rather good form. It is also important that the team from Montpellier scored a goal in almost all away games this Ligue 1 season. This match is unlikely to be an exception.

Prediction: Montpellier Individual Total Over (1).

• Individual Total 2 Over (1) for 2.43;
• Montpellier Not To Lose for 2.44;
• Montpellier To Win for 6.00.
