Mon 5th Jan, 19:45 BST, Stade de la Mosson, Montpellier

The Ligue 2 is the focus for both Montpellier and Dunkerque on Monday evening, as managers Zoumana Camara and Albert Sánchez Saura face one another at the Stade de la Mosson. Below there are predictions for 17 markets, supporting statistics including head to heads (H2Hs), and odds from leading bookmakers. Access it all via the tabs below.

Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's unlikely that this match will have 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics align with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Montpellier and Dunkerque haven't typically been involved in goal-fests of late, whether that be in Ligue 2 individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a convincing favourite WDW or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Montpellier are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 37% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.25.

Goal Statistics

Dunkerque's defensive record is to be admired, A. Sánchez Saura's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Ligue 2 matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Montpellier makes sense in this context.
