Montpellier were expected to battle for a place in the next European competitions, but after six games in Ligue 1 have only gained a point. Monaco on the other hand is not last year’s team, at least for the start of the season.
However, Monaco’s record against Montpellier is great. In 26 Ligue 1 games, Monaco is unbeaten against Montpellier (17 wins, 9 draws) and their record away at Montpellier is 10 wins and six draws in the last 16 games at Stade de la Mosson.
Here we have two teams that struggle early on, in the season and will want to start turning things around sooner rather than later.
Will Monaco extend their unbeaten record against Montpellier, or will the hosts put it to an end tonight?
