Full analysis

In the upcoming Ligue 1 clash, Angers is set to host Montpellier at their home ground. Both teams are struggling this season, making this match a critical one for their survival hopes.

Angers, currently 14th in the league, has had a less than impressive run, especially at home, with only 3 wins and a total of 11 points from their home games. Montpellier, on the other hand, is languishing at 18th and has managed just one away win all season. The goal statistics also paint a grim picture: Angers has scored 14 but conceded 30 goals at home, while Montpellier has a dismal record of 5 goals scored and 27 conceded in away matches.

Despite Angers' poor form, their historical edge over Montpellier could play a crucial role. They won the last head-to-head encounter 3-1 at Montpellier. Additionally, Montpellier’s away form is concerning, with a significant number of goals conceded and minimal scoring. Angers, though not prolific, have managed to score at least, suggesting a slight upper hand in offensive capability at home.

The primary argument for the tip comes from both teams' defensive frailties, especially in the second halves of their matches where they have conceded the majority of their goals. This trend, coupled with the desperation for points, might lead to a more open game as it progresses. However, considering both teams' struggle to score, there's a risk that the match could end with fewer goals than expected if neither side manages to break down the other's defense effectively.

Tip: Under 2.5 goals scored in the match.

Probability: 65%

Good luck
