Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction and Betting Tips | January 26th 2025

Toulouse play host to Montpellier in a Ligue 1 game at the Stadium de Toulouse this Sunday. Toulouse are in eighth place in the table, and frankly, don't seem like they're quite capable of making a European push this season.

Montpellier, however, are stuck in 18th, and relegation is now looking like a distinct possibility.

So can the away side manage to give themselves any semblance of hope with a win this weekend?

Toulouse vs Montpellier Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Interestingly, Montpellier have won their last two trips to Toulouse, although it's worth noting that one of those games was a friendly. However, their first meeting this season saw Toulouse easily win 0-3, while Montpellier were reduced to 10 men.
• Toulouse are currently on one of their best runs of the season. Including Coupe de France games, they have only lost once in their last six, falling to Strasbourg on January 12. Their most recent match saw them draw 0-0 with Lyon.
• Montpellier's last game saw them pull off one of the upsets of the season. They defeated Champions League-chasing Monaco 2-1, claiming only their third victory of the campaign. Jordanian Mousa Al Ta'mari was the hero, scoring a brace.
• Montpellier have the leakiest defense in Ligue 1, conceding 43 thus far, but they also hold another unwanted title. Their disciplinary record is the worst in the league, with 51 yellow cards and six red cards.
• Only three sides have conceded fewer goals than Toulouse this season, who have let in 19. Part of that record has been the form of goalkeeper Guillaume Restes, who has kept eight clean sheets, more than any other keeper in Ligue 1.

Toulouse vs Montpellier Prediction

A week ago, this game would've been a comfortable one to predict, with all bets being on a Toulouse win. However, Montpellier's stunning win over Monaco has put that into doubt somewhat.

With that said, Toulouse's home advantage and strong defense may still give them the edge here, especially as Montpellier gave up 26 shots in that win over Monaco.

Therefore, while it isn't as cut and dried as it may have been before last weekend, the prediction is still a home win.

Prediction: Toulouse 2-0 Montpellier
