Auxerre vs Montpellier Predictions

• Montpellier have lost 18 of their 25 league games
• Auxerre’s last three games in Ligue 1 and four of Montpellier’s last six stayed under 2.5 goals
• Auxerre have lost just two of their 13 home league games

Visitors look likely to be relegated

Montpellier have lost six games in a row and look set to fall to their seventh in a row against Auxerre.

The visitors have lost 11 of their last 12 away league games and they have failed to find the net in seven of the last eight. They look destined for the drop, sitting eight points clear of safety, and are taking on an Auxerre side who are very solid at home.

Christophe Pelissier’s men have lost just two of their 13 home league games and will have their sights set on a top-half finish this season.

Hosts set for low-scoring win

Montpellier have both the worst defensive record and the worst attacking output of any team in the division and have lost 18 of their 25 league matches.

Auxerre look set for another victory, their ninth of the campaign, against a side who are sliding closer to the drop by the day.

Goals have been a major issue for the visitors and it may pay to side with them to come up short once again for correct score purposes.

However, Auxerre’s last three games in Ligue 1 and four of Montpellier’s last six have stayed under 2.5 goals so a 2-0 win for the home team is the correct score selection.
