Montpellier vs Clermont Prediction & Betting Tips (8 October)

Stuck in the 2nd part of the table for two seasons now, Montpellier is currently showing itself to be far too inconsistent to hope to make its way to the top of the table. Indeed, the MHSC displays a far too irregular record of 2 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats in 7 matches which allows it to occupy 9th place in the ranking.

Defeated by Reims 1-3 and Lille 1-0, Michel Der Zakarian's men then had to be satisfied with 2 draws against Strasbourg 2-2 and Rennes 0-0 but they finally found their way to success last Sunday by going dictate their law on the field of Lorient 0-3.

Winger Nordin, young Fayad and left-backs Sylla (calf) and Sainte-Luce (thigh) will still not be available to Michel Der Zakarian for this poster. To this we add that midfielder Chotard is suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. On the other hand, the Paillade players will be able to count on the excellent captain Teji Savanier (1 goal, 2 assists), the Jordanian winger Al-Tamari (3 goals, 1 assist) and the striker Adams (5 goals) which remains on a double scored on the side of Lorient last Sunday. Clermont also knows its share of defections since the recruit Armougom, the young midfielder Mabrouk and the important left side Neto Borges are all out of form.

Otherwise, the rest of the usual executives of this formation are present, starting with the coach's son, Johann Gastien and his midfield partners like the former Lyonnais Gonalons and the interesting Magnin. It is offensively that this team is failing with only 5 goals scored in the first 7 days and no player on the squad has found the net more than once this season.
