Angers vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips

Angers face off with Montpellier in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Raymond Kopa this Sunday.

Angers are currently in 14th place, but with just one point keeping them away from the relegation play-off spot, they could do with a win here. Montpellier, meanwhile, are bottom of the league, and survival now looks far beyond their capabilities.

So can Angers pick up a valuable win this weekend?

Angers vs Montpellier Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Angers have won four of their last six home games against Montpellier, and the last time they fell to defeat to them at the Stade Raymond Kopa was way back in 2018.
• Angers’ form has been concerning recently, as they have lost their last five league games in a row. This run has seen them plummet down the table, falling from 11th to 14th and leaving them in genuine danger.
• Montpellier, though, are one of the only sides to be on worse form than Angers right now. The bottom side have lost their last nine matches in a row, and have not even scored a goal since February 16.
• Goals have also been a problem for Angers this season. They have failed to score in any of their last five matches, and have only produced 26 goals all season. Montpellier, though, have scored even fewer with 21.
• While Angers have won seven matches this season, only three of those wins have come at home. Their last win at the Stade Raymond Kopa came back on January 19 over Auxerre.

Angers vs Montpellier Prediction

Both of these sides have been in terrible form recently, but this could be a good chance for Angers to attempt to rescue their season.

Not only have Montpellier not been winning either, but their record in front of goal is even worse than Angers’, and they have also struggled to keep goals out all season.

It’s hard to imagine this one being a high-scoring match, as both sides have been painfully profligate in recent weeks. However, given what is at stake, it could be worth betting on a narrow win for Angers.

Prediction: Angers 1-0 Montpellier

A Sportskeeda ‘Feature Writer of the Month’ award winner, he ensures to conduct thorough research before writing his articles via various reputable sources, and writing in the most simplistic manner possible is one of his biggest strengths.

Scott first started watching football a six-year-old with family during the 1990 World Cup. His favorite team is Tottenham Hotspur and Harry Kane is his all-time favorite player. Of late, he has been admiring Cristian Romero for playing a passionate and fiery brand of football. His all-time favorite manager is Terry Venables for creating an England team he could be proud of since he started following football. Although, his current favorite is Ange Postecoglou.

Seeing Eric Dier score the winning penalty in the shootout for England against Colombia in the 2018 World Cup brought him to tears and is his most memorable moment in football.

If Scott could change a rule in football, he’d remove offside decisions from VAR as he believes that offside was not introduced to catch an attacker who is a matter of millimeters out. Outside of writing, he follows UFC, works out, spends time with his dog, and travels.
