Montpellier vs Guingamp Prediction & Betting Tips (30 January)

After an absolutely nightmarish last season in the elite, Montpellier is struggling to really bounce back this year in Ligue 2. And while the clearly announced objective at the start of the season was an immediate return to the League, the MHSC is stuck in the middle of the table, in 9th place, with a delay of 6 units on 5th place, the last qualifier for the play-offs. Too inconsistent, the Paillaide players began the month of January with a logical setback against Nancy 1-3 before relaunching by slapping FC Metz 0-4 in the Coupe de France. Then, the Héraultais were surprised by Boulogne 1-0 then they relaunched last week on the ground of the red lantern, Bastia 0-2. Capable of securing a place in the play-offs last season, Guingamp would of course like to do it again next May and clearly play its card for a rise in the elite.

After a particularly complicated month of December marked by 3 defeats in a row, Sylvain Ripoll's players seem to have benefited from the winter break to get their minds back in place. Indeed, they have just had 3 good successes against Boulogne 3-0, Nancy 0-3 and especially against the leader Trojan 1-0 last weekend. Thanks to this good dynamic, the Bretons have moved up to 7th place in the ranking, only 2 units from 5th place.

Something rare enough to be highlighted: the Montpellier coach, Zoumana Camara, could have counted on all of his strength for this game. Unfortunately for him, the Hérault technician deplores the absence of his playing master Savanier (5 goals, 3 assists). He missed a penalty last weekend against the Corsicans. Affected in one knee, he will have to observe a period of rest this Friday.

Unsurprisingly, however, we should find from the kick-off the formidable scorer Alexandre Mendy (6 goals, 2 assists) who quickly opened the scoring last week against Bastia. Also watch out for the interesting Mbuku (2 goals, 3 assists).

• Summary: Montpellier is going head to head with Guingamp starting on 30 Jan 2026 at 19:00 UTC at Stade de la Mosson stadium, Montpellier city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 2 .
