Saint-Etienne gana
Saint-Etienne hosting Montpellier is a clash where Saint-Etienne’s home advantage could play a significant role. Although Saint-Etienne has had ups and downs in recent seasons, they tend to perform better at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, where the support of their home crowd lifts their energy and intensity. Their offense has been productive lately, and they have a solid foundation to pressure teams defensively on home turf.
Montpellier, meanwhile, has struggled with inconsistency, especially in away games. Their defense has shown vulnerabilities against mid-table teams, and they tend to concede in high-pressure situations. Additionally, Montpellier’s goal-scoring on the road hasn’t been strong, which may hinder them from putting significant pressure on Saint-Etienne.
