Montpellier – St Etienne : Preview & Prediction
This race to Europe promises to be tight … Montpellier, 7th, and St Etienne, 9th, are neck and neck for the attention of the 5th place (2 units only). The MHSC seems to have stalled since mid-February since the formation of Michel Der Zakarian has gleaned only 9 points out of 27 at stake and could have had a quieter end to the season. Unable to win a match in the Mosson for two and a half months, Montpellier remains on 2 against-performance at home against Dijon (2-2) and Bordeaux (1-3) and recorded a new setback last weekend in Nice (1-0) in another important meeting for a European place. St Etienne was able to take advantage of Montpellier’s up-market to return to the level of the club héraultais. The Greens of Jean-Louis Gasset, undefeated for three months, walk on the water. The club Forez has lined 4 successes in front of Guingamp (2-0), Nantes (3-0), Strasbourg (1-0) and ahead of Troyes (2-1) recently and held in check the PSG (1- 1) to Geoffroy Guichard. With 13 points out of 15 distributed, the ASSE is the big winner of these last weeks.
At the level of direct confrontations, St Etienne leads the dance with 8 successes on the last 10 matches in L1.
St Etienne is undefeated in Ligue 1 since 21 January and remains on 12 games without losses (7 wins and 5 draws).
Montpellier has recorded only 1 victory over its last 9 matches (6 draws and 2 defeats)!
Montpellier remains on 2 defeats of rank in the league, series in progress.
The MHSC has not won at home since 5 games in all competitions.
The Greens are on an incredible pace and have the ambition to win a European ticket at the end of the season. The club Etienne, currently invincible, should logically bring back points of his trip to Montpellier.
