Our Predictions
Montpellier are slight favorites at 2.15 on 1xBet. They’ve shown more stability at home, winning two of their last five home fixtures and dominating Rodez in key head-to-heads. Rodez struggle on the road, with just one win in the last five trips, so the home team has the edge.
Head-to-head games between Montpellier and Rodez are often tight—last two ended 1-0 and 0-0. Both teams lean toward low-scoring outcomes and prioritize caution early in the season, favoring under 2.5 goals.
Montpellier have recorded three clean sheets recently and Rodez struggled for goals away. Their head-to-head has seen at least one team fail to score in several past matches, making BTTS–No a logical pick.
