Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: Double Chance - X2
Montpellier has proven to be a tough opponent for many sides, even in away games. As they head to Stade Geoffroy-Guichard to face Saint-Étienne, our recommended bet is Montpellier to win or draw in the Double Chance market.
While Montpellier securing all three points wouldn’t be shocking given their recent form, taking at least a draw seems like a very realistic outcome.
👉 Prediction: Saint-Étienne to Win the First Half
We expect the half-time market to offer great value in Saint-Étienne vs Montpellier.
Saint-Étienne has often started strong, particularly at home, where they dominate possession early. This makes them an excellent pick to lead at half-time.
