Montpellier vs Clermont Foot Prediction: The stronger team will win

Montpellier are top performers judging by their recent results. 5 games without a loss and they are hoping to continue as they welcome Clermont Foot to the Stade de la Mosson for fixture 28. Both teams might be close on the table but are distant apart on the form rankings. Montpellier have an opportunity to climb to 11th if they can get all 3 points and there is a growing confidence that they might do just that against Clermont Foot who are struggling currently.

How Montpellier managed to turn their fortunes around is still a mystery. They have been on an incredible run of 5 matches unbeaten and more so, they are playing very well at the moment. Montpellier won their last match against Ajaccio;1-0. That was after thumping Angers 5-0 in the previous match. 

In their last 5 matches, Montpellier recorded 4 wins and 1 draw.

Montpellier are currently in 13th spot, with 33 points from 27 matches. They have 10 wins, 3 draws and 14 losses.

Team Streaks:- no losses (5), first to score (⅘).

Clermont Foot have a lot of worries for the form of Montpellier and what it means if they lose here. Clermont Foot are one place above and have one point above Montpellier, so they need a win or at least a draw to keep them on top.

Clermont Foot lost their last game against Lens 4-0 at home. Although the result doesn't reflect the performance, as Clermont had 47% possession, 6 shots on target and 6 corner kicks.

In their last 5 matches, they had 3 losses, 1 win and 1 draw.

Clermont Foot are in 12th with 34 points from 27 matches. 

Team Streaks:- less than 2.5 goals (⅞), first to concede (⅚), first half loser (⅚), less than 10.5 corners (6/6).

Montpellier and Clermont Foot have met only 8 times throughout their history. Clermont Foot leads slightly with 4 wins, while Montpellier have 3 wins and 1 match ended in a draw.

• Clermont have no losses in the last 3 meetings.
• Montpelier have not kept a clean sheet in the last 3 meetings.
• Both teams scored in 6/8 meetings.
• Montpellier won the first half in 5/7 meetings.
• Less than 4.5 cards were shown in 6/8 meetings.

I see this ending in either one of two ways and that's Montpellier win or draw. 

Montpellier are in very fine form and with 5 matches unbeaten, you can expect them to feel very confident about their game. Clermont has no chance here.
