Montpellier HSC

vs

Clermont

Preview

Montpellier (home)

• Montpellier HSC sit 7th in Ligue 2 with 50 points from 32 games so far and have been solid if unremarkable in the French second tier this season.
• Camara has made Montpellier very hard to break down and very difficult to beat, while also encouraging his team to retain the ball as well as they can, and this formula has seen them remain unbeaten in their last five league games, including a 2-1 home win over Grenoble and a 2-0 win at Amiens in midweek.

Clermont (away)

• Clermont are seven places and 19 points below Montpellier, in 14th, with 31 points from 32 matches so far.
• Gregory Proment has been in charge since July 2025, and has favoured a possession based approach where his men try and control midfield and keep the ball out of dangerous areas.

Head-to-Head

• Clermont have won just three of their 16 Ligue 2 away games this season, losing nine of them, and their recent form has been poor.
• A 2-2 home draw with Nancy, a 1-0 away loss to Le Mans and a 1-1 draw at home with SC Bastia have been their results in their last three games and they come into Saturday’s game winless in their last four league outings.
• The bet on Over 2.5 goals is at 1.84, while Both Teams to Score - Yes is priced at 1.76.
