Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips | October 2, 2022

Toulouse will host Montpellier on Sunday (October 2) in Ligue 1 at the Stadium de Toulouse. Both teams are in mid-table, with Toulouse in 12th and Montpellier in ninth; a win could move the visitors as high as fifth, depending on other results.

Montpellier are coming off a 2-1 win over Strasbourg before the international break, which snapped their two-game losing run, thanks to Teji Savarnier's 95th-minute winner from the spot.

Toulouse, meanwhile, have won just one of their last six league games, beating Reims 1-0 on September 11. They're coming off a 2-1 loss to Lille in their last game.

The hosts are the highest-placed of the three newly promoted teams, but they could slide into trouble if they lose here, depending on how other results go.

Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction

This game looks like a tricky one for Toulouse, as their form has hit a slump recently with four losses in their last five. Meanwhile, Montpellier’s win over Strasbourg seems to have signalled an upturn in their fortunes.

While they don’t have the strongest defence, Montpellier do have a remarkably potent attack. So it’s unlikely the hosts will be able to keep them quiet for too long. Expect an exciting game, with a win for the visitors.

Prediction: Toulouse 1-3 Montpellier
