Monaco vs Montpellier Prediction 28 Sep 2024

⚽ Ligue 1 - Round 6 Preview

📅 28 Sep 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stade Louis II (Monaco)

Monaco are thriving under Adi Hütter, sitting on 13 points from their first five games, their best start since the 2016/17 campaign, which saw them crowned Ligue 1 champions. After a 2-1 win over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, Monaco remain unbeaten in their first six games of the season for the first time since 2013/14. They’ll feel confident hosting Montpellier, having lost just one of their last five home encounters (W3, D1), and completing a double over them last season with two 2-0 wins.

Montpellier have had a shaky start, managing just one win in their opening five matches (W1, D1, L3), and their defense remains a concern as they’ve conceded the most goals in Ligue 1 so far this season. Despite their struggles, manager Michel Der Zakarian may remind his team of their stunning 4-0 win over Monaco in April 2023, but they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches. Montpellier have, however, been formidable when taking a 1-0 lead away from home, winning eight of the last nine such games.
