Match description

Troyes lead the table with 17 wins and 49 goals this season, while Montpellier sit 7th with 12 wins and 33 goals. In their last 5 matches Troyes scored 15 goals (3.0 per match) and won all 5 games, whereas Montpellier have 5 goals in their last 5 matches (1.0 per match) and average 1.6 points per match. At home Montpellier average 13.21 shots per match (4.57 on target) with a 12% conversion rate and 1.57 goals per match, while Troyes away average 10.77 shots (3.69 on target), 10% conversion and 1.08 goals per match, which gives the hosts an edge in chance creation. xG values are similar (home xG 1.45 vs away xG 1.33; xGA 1.29 vs 1.26), yet Troyes defend better on the road (0.85 conceded per match vs Montpellier 1.07 at home) and boast an impressive 15:6 record in their last five matches. Considering Troyes’ 5-game winning run and clear attacking form and Montpellier’s solid but not decisive home attributes, I predict an away win; I assess chances at 30% for Montpellier, 25% for a draw and 45% for Troyes.
