Monaco vs. Montpellier. Monaco had a decent first half, scoring in most of the games and were excellent at home, one of the top scorers in the league.
In addition, Monaco have scored in a row of recent times, but they are not strong enough to play against a strong team, and have failed to win against Lille, Nice and Paris Saint-Germain. In past fixtures, Monaco vs Montpellier have had quite a few cases where penalties have been awarded.
Montpellier have been in relatively poor form and have been underperforming recently and need to improve their game. Montpellier have generally scored on the road, scoring at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 Ligue 1 away games, and even more than three goals in nine of them. However, they have won just one of their last five away matches in Ligue 1.
In the last 10 matches, Montpellier have won only 3 of them, with the remaining 8 being 4 draws and 4 defeats. The team's attack has been somewhat weak, with fewer goals scored in three of the last four games.
Montpellier's success rate against tough opponents away from home has been low, with the likes of Lille, Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain failing to score in the top half of the season away to the club. Montpellier, which lacks overall strength, has won only three of its 13 league games this season, and has only won two draws and two defeats in the last four.
Therefore, the author believes that Monaco are more likely to win this round.
