Angers vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st May 2022

In one of the final round of Ligue 1 games this season, Angers will face off with Montpellier at the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Just five points separate the two mid-table outfits. Montpellier are 13th, while Angers are 14th, o there’s nothing on the line but pride when they face off. However, with little pressure on either side, a fun game could ensue.

It’s safe to say that neither team has been at their best recently. Angers have won just twice in their last 16 games and suffered a horrendous run of seven straight defeats from January to March. In their most recent game, they lost to strugglers Metz.

Montpellier, meanwhile, have not won since their 2-0 victory over Bordeaux on March 20, a run that stretches to eight games. More worryingly, Olivier Dall’Oglio’s side have conceded 15 goals in their last five outings.

Essentially, then, if either team is to shine here, they’re going to have to improve on their recent form.

Add in the home advantage for Angers, this one could prove to be a good way for Gerard Baticle’s side to sign off the season with. Expect a tight home win for Angers.
