Angers vs Montpellier Predictions

• Angers are unbeaten in three of their last four home league games, following a run of seven defeats from nine.
• Angers enjoy a five-game unbeaten run of home H2H encounters (W3, D2).
• Montpellier lost by a 2+ goal margin in each of their last four away games.

Angers can finish on a high

While there is nothing at stake for Angers in this final day encounter, they do come into it on the back of a 4-1 win in their last home clash with the incentive of sending the home faithful away happy in waiting for another campaign in the top-flight.

Montpellier are one of Angers’ preferred opponents of late, with the visitors winless in their last five visits here since 2016. Moreover, Montpellier failed to win 72% of their away league games entered as betting outsiders, a trend which raises more questions about their credentials.

Scoring first will be key to any Angers success, seven of their nine league wins this term came when hitting the opener, five of which come at home. Just two of Angers’ home league games ended level this term, suggesting that we should find a winner one way or the other.

Sticking with the hosts

In what appears to be a tough game to call given that both sides are guaranteed a bottom-half finish, we are willing to take a chance on a home win at decent odds in this clash.

None of Angers’ home league games entered as favourites ended level this season (W5, L4) and with their recent uptick in form combined with Montpellier’s leaky away defence, we think that taking an Angers win could be the smart play.

As for the correct score, we fancy a narrow yet entertaining 2-1 victory for Angers in this clash.
