ESTAC Troyes vs Montpellier Prediction: A Draw on the Cards

Montpellier grabbed a comfortable 3-0 win against Stade Brestois 29 on home soil. In this match, they travel to the Stade de l’Aube stadium to face Troyes for the 23rd round of the Ligue 1. Only 4 points separate these two teams and each team will look to improve their position on the table. Montpellier are 5 points off 13th position and a win would see them trim it down to 2 points, a loss would mean Brest will earn as many points as them if they win. If Troyes pick up a win, then they will come within 1 point of Montpellier.

Expert Betting Tips

I don’t see much improvements from the Troyes team and they are likely to head downhill as the season progresses. Montpellier are not the brightest team either, but if they put in as much effort as they did in the last match, they should grab all 3 points here. Not very many goals are scored when these two face each other. So we can look forward to a tight contest with limited opportunities.
