Montpellier Hsc vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Kennedy Kechula in Ligue 1 Predictions
Montpellier will play host to Strasbourg in their opening game of the 2024/25 Ligue 1. Both sides will be eyeing an improvement from unimpressive preseason outings. Here’s our preview and a prediction for the match.
Montpellier had a poor campaign in 2023/24, losing more than they won ahead of their 12th placed finish. They also conceded the most goals among the top 12 teams and will aim to address their defensive issues this season.
La Paillade didn’t show much improvement in preseason, failing to keep a clean sheet, losing four and winning one of six matches. However, with only one loss in the last eight league matches, they will be confident of starting on a high. With a win, they will improve on their last three results against Strasbourg.
Liam Rosenoir has replaced Patrick Vieira at the Strasbourg helm and will be keen on starting with a win. It didn’t go well for him in preseason, Strasbourg failing to win any of their eight matches.
His side has, however, not lost to Montpellier in the last three meetings and that will be a point to cling on. The last two battles between the teams ended 2-2, with Strasbourg having earlier won 2-0.
Despite doing better than Montpellier in their head-to-head records, Strasbourg finished a place below their hosts. They lost 15 of their 34 league matches and were the lowest scorers in the top 13, with 38 goals, while they conceded 50 times.
The unwanted trends in defence and attack continued in preseason and will be a concern for the new manager.

Our Montpellier Hsc vs Strasbourg Prediction
Entertaining, high-scoring battles highlighted these teams’ two meetings last season. While they depicted defensive problems, they also showed their attacking abilities. These were also the same issues to report from the teams’ preseason results, which we expect to be carried to their opening game of the season.
Like it was in the past two meetings, there’s evidence to suggest we will have three or more goals here. We also can’t rule out goals on either end. Our prediction for Montpellier v Strasbourg is for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
