General match analysis

Montpellier head into this match in significantly better form: they have won 4 of their last 5 games, conceding just 1 goal, while Annecy have won twice and conceded 7. Away from home, the visitors win 60% of their matches and concede an average of 0.8 goals, while the hosts win 25% of their home games and concede an average of 1.25 goals. Montpellier also hold a slight edge in attacking output away from home, averaging 1.4 goals per match compared with Annecy’s 1.25 at home. However, the gap in the quality of chances created is small, with average xG figures of 1.32 and 1.29 respectively, while Montpellier’s away xG against of 1.66 suggests the hosts should be able to create chances. The visitors’ stronger recent defensive record and results point to an away win, although the chance-creation data temper confidence in the prediction.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Montpellier’s defensive record: the visitors have kept a clean sheet in 60% of their away matches and have conceded just 1 goal in total across their last five games. Annecy have failed to score in 25% of their home matches, while their average of 1.0 goals scored is lower than Montpellier’s 1.4 away average. Both teams have scored in 25% of Annecy’s home matches and 40% of Montpellier’s away matches so far, both below the league average of 57%. Against this pick, 80% of Annecy’s most recent five matches have seen both teams score, and their home xG stands at 1.89, so a goal from the hosts cannot be ruled out. Even so, Montpellier’s current defensive form makes it slightly more likely that at least one team will fail to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal points to Under 3.5 goals: all of Annecy’s matches at home so far and 80% of Montpellier’s away matches have stayed below this line. Annecy concede an average of just 0.25 goals at home, while Montpellier concede 0.8 away, limiting the likelihood of a high-scoring game. However, caution is warranted: at least 3 goals were scored in 80% of Annecy’s last five matches, compared with just 20% of Montpellier’s. The hosts generate 1.89 xG at home, while the visitors average 1.32 xG away, so with a projected total of 2.29 goals, the 3.5 line offers a greater safety margin than the 2.5 line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: Annecy were level at the break in 3 of their 4 home matches, while Montpellier were level in all 5 of their away fixtures. After the break, the advantage could shift to the visitors, who have averaged 1.25 goals in second halves across their last 5 matches, while Annecy have conceded an average of 1.2 goals during that period. Montpellier have won 4 of their last 5 matches and conceded an average of just 0.2 goals per game over that span; Annecy have won 2 of 5 and conceded an average of 1.4 goals. The hosts create more chances, posting an xG of 1.89 compared with the visitors’ 1.32, so a home win remains a realistic possibility. However, the combination of frequent half-time draws and Montpellier’s stronger recent second-half performances most strongly points to a draw at half-time and an away win in the HT/FT market.
