Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: Under 2.5
Dunkerque and Montpellier have shown a preference for defensive football this season, often avoiding risky attacks.
With both teams likely to play carefully, we see under 2.5 goals as the best value bet for this match.
👉 Prediction: Montpellier to Win
Underestimating Montpellier would be a mistake. Despite being the away side, they have the quality and tactical discipline to pull off a win.
That’s why we’re backing Montpellier to win outright on the 1X2 market at odds of 2.74.
